Celebrating the UK’s relationship with Dominica, Brit Week 2014 #BritWEEKDominica
From 22 – 25 July, the British High Commission will host a Brit Week in Dominica.
The visit will aim to highlight the strength of collaboration between the UK and Dominica.
It will mark the first time the British High Commission, UK Trade & Investment, the Department for International Development Caribbean, the National Crime Agency and the Caribbean Criminal Asset Recovery Programme have partnered to host such an event in Dominica.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the UK’s strengths in business, culture and education and to re-energise our relationships with all our partners in Dominica – government, businesses and civil society. On a personal note I’m really looking forward to visiting this beautiful island again and am very glad that we’re having our first ‘Brit Week’ in Dominica” said British High Commissioner to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, Victoria Dean.
