Premier of the TCI, expresses deep sympathies to the UK after learning on the passing of Baroness Margaret Thatcher. 

The Premier in his address stated, It is with profound sadness that we today learnt of the passing of Great Britain’s longest serving politician and first and only female Prime Minister, Baroness Margaret Hilda Thatcher. Baroness Thatcher was most known for her uncompromising political and leadership style and was the main force behind the Falklands War and the economic recovery of Great Britain in the early 1980’s.

Baroness Thatcher would indeed forever remain the icon for women in politics and will continue to be the symbol of leadership that has inspired generations of women as they strive to achieve, against inequality and discrimination.

On behalf of the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands, I hereby send condolences to the family of Baroness Thatcher and the people of Great Britain, may the Lord strengthen you during this time of bereavement.
