๐ตAnd thatโs a wrap on Conservative Party Conference!
It was wonderful to catch up with so many longstanding friends of the Cayman Islands, including Andrew Bowie MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero; Joy Morrissey MP, Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities; Nigel Huddleston MP; and Gagan Mohindra MP.
A fantastic few days reconnecting with familiar faces, making new friends and continuing to strengthen the Cayman Islandsโ relationships across Westminster.
Until next year! ๐ฐ๐พ๐ฌ๐ง

๐ฐ๐พ๐ต At Conservative Party Conference, Dr Tasha caught up with the Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith MP and Cayman Islands APPG member Mark Garnier MP, the Shadow Economic Secretary to the Treasury and Shadow Minister for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade.

๐ฐ๐พ๐ Protecting the Cayman Islandsโ unique natural environment is always at the top of our agenda, and engaging with UK parliamentarians on environmental issues remains an important part of our work.
At Conservative Party Conference, Dr Tasha was pleased to speak with Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Victoria Atkins MP, as well as former Environment Secretary Baroness Coffey and Shadow Environment Ministers Robbie Moore MP and Neil Hudson MP.
It was a valuable opportunity to continue conversations around the environmental priorities that matter to the Cayman Islands. ๐ฐ๐พ๐๏ธ

๐ฐ๐พ๐ค๐ฌ๐ง It was wonderful to catch up with two longstanding friends of the Cayman Islands at Conservative Party Conference: former Foreign Secretary James Cleverly MP and former Minister for the Overseas Territories David Rutley.
Both have a strong understanding of the Overseas Territories and the important role they play within the wider British family. During their time at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, the Cayman Islands worked closely with them on a range of shared priorities, making it particularly good to reconnect in Birmingham.
Maintaining these longstanding relationships is an important part of Dr Tasha's work in the UK, and we look forward to continuing to engage with both James and David as friends and supporters of the Cayman Islands. ๐ฐ๐พ๐ค๐ฌ๐ง

All provided a valuable opportunity to discuss the Cayman Islands priorities, deepen cross-party engagement and continue building on the strong and enduring relationship between the Cayman Islands and the United Kingdom. ๐ฐ๐พ๐ค๐ฌ๐ง

๐นAcross Labour Party Conference, Dr Tasha met with Secretaries of State, Ministers, MPs, Peers and Councillors, as well as representatives from industry, charities and organisations from across the wider Labour and policy community.
It was a valuable opportunity to build new relationships, deepen existing ones and catch up with both new and longstanding friends of the Cayman Islands - while continuing to highlight the close and enduring relationship between the Cayman Islands and the UK.
Among many familiar faces, it was great to speak with Calvin Bailey MP, Jess Phillips MP and Al Carns MP, alongside many others throughout a busy few days in Liverpool.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to meet and speak with us - we look forward to continuing conversations in the weeks and months ahead.

๐นWhile at Labour Party Conference, the Cayman Islands Representative to the UK, Dr Tasha Ebanks Garcia, attended the Tony Blair Instituteโs discussion on the future of the UKโEU relationship, with Alastair Campbell and the Minister for Intergovernmental Relations and European Relations, the Rt Hon Hamish Falconer MP. ๐ช๐บ ๐ฐ๐พ ๐ฌ๐ง
Dr Tasha had the opportunity to put a question to the Minister, highlighting that the Overseas Territories have been affected by Brexit - including no longer having access to EU environmental funding.
With the UK continuing discussions with the EU about the future of the relationship, Dr Tasha asked for reassurance that the Overseas Territories would be remembered, and their interests considered, as those conversations develop.
The Minister confirmed that they would - an important reassurance for Cayman as the UK and EU shape the next chapter of their relationship.

๐นRegional growth was a key theme at this yearโs Labour Party Conference, and the Cayman Islands Representative to the UK, Dr Tasha Ebanks Garcia, was delighted to meet with West Midlands Mayor Richard Parker, West Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin, as well as Deputy Mayors from the East Midlands and York and South Yorkshire Combined Authority.
It was a great opportunity to hear more about the work being led by Mayors to drive investment, jobs and growth across the UKโs regions, and the important role they play in delivering the Governmentโs wider growth agenda.
Dr Tasha was also pleased to discuss where the Cayman Islands might be able to contribute to that ambition - exploring opportunities to deepen links with regions across the UK and ensure that the strong Cayman-UK relationship continues to deliver benefits across the country.
