UK Minister for Overseas Territories begins four day visit to TCI
United Kingdom Minister for the Overseas Territories David Rutley has started his four-day visit to the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Rutley arrived in Providenciales yesterday, and Governor Dileeni Daniel-Selvaratnam greeted him at the international airport.
The minister joined Daniel-Selvaratnam and Premier Washington Misick for dinner last evening.
Rutley began his full first day in the TCI with a visit to the Maritime Branch.
In a social media post, the Governor’s Office said Rutley, Daniel-Selvaratnam and Misick boarded a Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force maritime vessel at the South Dock Port.
“Minister Rutley met the marine officers who led on intercept operations and received a briefing from border security leads on the process for landing migrants following interceptions,” the Governor’s Office stated.
He also visited the Radar and Maritime Operations Centre, where he discussed multi-agency operations to develop marine domain awareness further.
This is Rutley's first visit to an overseas territory as a minister.
