Dunkley prepares for London visit

Michael Dunkley, the Premier, will discuss issues with his Overseas Territories counterparts in London this month

Michael Dunkley will travel to Britain at the end of this month for the Overseas Territories Joint Ministerial Council meetings.

Hosted by the British Government, the meetings are scheduled to take place in London from November 30 to December 3.

The Premier will be joined by senior figures from nine other Overseas Territories, including Gibraltar, Cayman Islands and Anguilla.

On the agenda for discussion will be economic diversification and development, regional border security, global standards of financial regulation accountability and transparency, and environmental sustainability.

In July, Mr Dunkley welcomed several of his Overseas Territories counterparts to Bermuda for a series of preparatory meetings.

“Each territory has some concerns that are very unique to their specific countries,” he said.

“The common thread during our talks is that if we are to make any progress in London, then we must present a unified front in order to achieve a beneficial outcome for all our countries.”

During his stay, the Premier will also host a November 30 networking reception for Bermudians living, working and studying at university in Britain.

Anyone interested in attending should contact the Bermuda Government’s London office at londonoffice@gov.bm or call 01144 20 7518 9900.
