Overseas Territories leaders visit House of Assembly
A premier and deputy premier of two other British Overseas Territories watched Bermuda legislators at work when they visited the House of Assembly on Friday.
A spokeswoman said Cora Richardson-Hodge, the Premier of Anguilla, and Jamell Robinson, the Deputy Premier of the Turks & Caicos Islands, visited the House as part of the 2026 OT Caribbean Caucus, hosted by David Burt, the Premier.
Reuben Meade, Natalio Wheatley and André Ebanks, the premiers of Montserrat, the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands respectively, also attended the caucus, which Mr Burt hosted from September 8 to 12 in his capacity as President of the United Kingdom Overseas Territories Association Political Council.
After Ms Richardson-Hodge and Mr Robinson were greeted in the House on Friday by Lovitta Foggo, the Deputy Speaker, and Joan Dillas-Wright, the President of the Senate, they observed part of the morning session.
The caucus precedes the annual Joint Ministerial Council Meetings with the British Government in November and discussions focus on issues such as “constitutional modernisation, climate resilience, economic and financial services, healthcare, cybersecurity, regional co-operation and the overall wellbeing of OT citizens”.
OT leaders also visited the Royal Naval Dockyard and St George.
