Montserrat Premier Donaldson Romeo told GBC that the Overseas Territories need to ensure Britain is proud of them and wants them to be a part of the new United Kingdom.
Mr Romeo also praised Mr Picardo for showing strong leadership among the territories, especially in his management of the Brexit issue.”

Meanwhile in related news coming from GBC on the JMC talks:
The UK’s Parliamentary Under-Secretary for International Trade says the Overseas Territories will “very much be involved in the process of the negotiations” of the UK’s deal with the EU as it progress through article 50. Mark Garnier told the House of Commons the UK has strong economic links with Gibraltar, highlighting that 20% of the UK car insurance market is underwritten within Gibraltar.
He was answering a question from Tory MP Andrew Rosindell, who asked for a progress report on new arrangements to be put in place with Gibraltar to ensure not only that there is a common market between the UK and Gibraltar post-Brexit, but that the Rock has uninterrupted access to financial services for its financial market.
Mr Garnier told Westminster he had met with many of the Overseas Territories leaders this week. He stressed that the UK has an interest not just in Gibraltar but in all the overseas territories.
