HE The Governor Peter Beckingham will be visiting the UK, and briefly New York, from 24 November – 8 December. In London the Governor will have an audience with Her Majesty the Queen, and take part in the annual Joint Ministerial Council of Overseas Territories. He will also be taking some leave. In New York the Governor will attend an event arranged by the Hotel and Tourism Association to promote TCI, and to meet potential and existing investors.
“I look forward to having the honour of an audience with Her Majesty,” the Governor said “as well as having the opportunity to describe the exciting developments in Turks and Caicos. The Joint Ministerial Council will also provide an excellent opportunity for the Premier and I to discuss our progress with other Territories, and share experiences. There will be a separate meeting with the FCO Minister responsible for the Territories, James Duddridge MP, and after his visit here in 2012 I am sure he will be interested to hear from Premier Ewing about progress.”
“On the way back,” the Governor concluded, “ I will be pleased to return to New York, where I have worked previously, and meet potential and existing investors. It is essential to build on the great reputation TCI has in the US.”
During Governor Beckingham’s absence the Acting Governor will be the Hon Anya Wiiliams.
