Anguilla’s Deputy Chief Minister and Minister of Social Development, Edison Baird, and Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Economic Development, Dr. Aidan Harrigan, are representing the island at a preliminary Overseas Territories Consultative Council (OTCC) meeting in Bermuda this week. They left the island on Wednesday and will be returning on Sunday, June 6.

The annual meeting is usually held prior to the Premiers’ and Chief Ministers’ conference with the Minister at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London responsible for the Overseas Territories.

The Bermuda meeting is to enable the leaders to work on common plans and strategies so that when they meet with the British Minister they could speak in unison on various matters of mutual interest and concern to the territories.

The London meeting is expected to be held either in September or October.
