Statement by Opposition Leader, Hon. Andrew Fahie
(PLTM) - The many Virgin Islands Nationals and Belongers that attended the meeting last evening, formed five working groups to gather the public's views of the future relationship of the UK-BVI relationship. We all agreed to keep this initiative about the future of the Territory and not about politics.
The meeting was well attended, POWERFUL & informative. The presentation by our Virgin Islands people on the five discussion topics were presented with CLASS. After last night I am now more proud than ever to be a Virgin Islander.
I am so proud of my people. Once again this initiative proves that once we involve our people at every level and give our people the forum and opportunities to excel then together as one people we can fix and improve the entire Virgin Islands and keep it on the cutting edge. Next week we invite all Virgin Islands Nationals and Belongers to attend the public meeting and fully participate.

1) Tuesday 21st Aug. August: 9:30 am- Foxy's: Jost Van Dyke
