Negotiations on Cayman Constitution postponed
The 2nd round of negotiations with the United Kingdom on a new Constitution for the Cayman Islands was scheduled to be held next week. After the 1st round that was held in the end of September – beginning of the October, the Cayman Government was looking forward to beginning the 2nd round and achieving more substantial advancement.
Unfortunately, due to particular unforeseen circumstances at the last moment, next week’s talks were postponement. This is the result of the position by the acting Leader of the Opposition and in statements by Mrs. Julianna O’Connor-Connolly that have left little doubt that the Opposition’s participation in the negotiations would be not likely. It should be noted that the Opposition chose to make a public statement rather than raising its concerns directly with the Government.
Government regrets the postponement caused by the position taken by the Opposition but wishes to have the full Opposition’s participation in these talks.
