BVI leaders say it’s time to send a signal to the UK that interference in domestic matters will not be welcomed.
It comes after Overseas Territories leaders met at the Kimpton Seafire last week.
They discussed issues they will tackle at their Joint Ministerial Council with the UK later this year. Issues such as the imposition of public beneficial ownership registries.

Speaking at Territory Day celebrations on 1st July BVI Premier Andrew Fahie put his cards on the table.
“The time has come when we will have to send a clearer signal that there will be no return to subjugation. If we are truly members of a family then we must be treated and respected as such, not as second class citizens, anything else is unacceptable,” said Mr. Fahie.
At the end of their meeting here, Overseas Territories leaders presented a united front on the issue of public beneficial ownership registries.
