David Burt marked Overseas Territories Day in the UK on Monday when he met with officials from Britain and elsewhere.

A government spokeswoman said that as the president of the UK Overseas Territories Association’s political council, the Premier was among the speakers at the OT Day reception at Speaker’s House at the House of Commons.

She added: “Later that afternoon, the Premier attended the Overseas Territories Day Evensong at Westminster Abbey, a traditional Anglican choral service of prayer and reflection held in the late afternoon.

“The Premier delivered the first lesson or the opening Bible reading of the service on behalf of UKOTA.”

Mr Burt is also scheduled to deliver remarks at the Bermuda International Long Term Insurers and Reinsurer’s UK-Bermuda stakeholder forum at Lloyd’s of London.

The annual event brings together leaders from across the UK and Bermuda’s international business, insurance and financial services sector.

Mr Burt will be joined at the forum by Kendaree Burgess, the managing director of the Bermuda Business Development Agency, and Suzanne Williams, the chief executive of BILTIR.

The Premier is also scheduled to hold a series of bilateral meetings including with senior representatives of His Majesty’s Treasury and the Bank of England before returning to the island tomorrow.
