As the second round of constitutional negotiations between The Virgin Islands and the United Kingdom is underway, there is growing recognition that the time has come for the Territory to embrace a modern Constitution that reflects the realities, aspirations, and ambitions of today's Virgin Islands.
In a National Address on Tuesday evening Premier and Minister of Finance, Honourable Dr Natalio D. Wheatley, underscored the importance of the ongoing constitutional reform process, describing it as one of the most significant national undertakings in recent history. He said, “it is not simply about changing laws on paper; it is about building the framework that will guide our development and shape our future.”
