Montserrat Premier wants more unity among British Overseas Territories

British Overseas Territories (BOT) may be small in population and size but Montserrat Premier Joseph Farrell believes their united voice will allow them to get their fair share of resources from the United Kingdom.

Farrell made the comment last evening in his opening contribution to the Territories Talk panel on unifying the Caribbean BOTs.

“I am of the considered view that the Caribbean Overseas territories need each other. Whiles, we face our own unique circumstances, we also share many of the same strengths and challenges,” he said.

“We simply cannot confront the relativities of our relationship with the United Kingdom, Brexit or sustainable development or climate change without working together and cooperating with each other.”
