Minister of State for the Americas and the Overseas Territories, Jessie Norman, is set to pay a visit to the British Virgin Islands next week to get a first-hand view of efforts to address governance issues that were raised in a commission of inquiry.

British Virgin Islands Governor John Rankin revealed the development today at a media conference that was called to give an update on the quarterly review of efforts to implement the Commission of Inquiry recommendations.

Norman, who was recently appointed to the position of Overseas Territories Minister, is set to be on the territory from October 27 to 28.

“I know that the minister’s goal is to see a successful, thriving [and] well-governed BVI. That is a goal which I share as governor and to which I remain committed,” Rankin remarked.

The governor noted that Norman and the UK Government are pleased with the progress made by the premier, his Government of National Unity, public officials and civil society in implementing the Commission of Inquiry recommendations.
