Dear Governor,
As you and the people of Bermuda celebrate the auspicious occasion of Bermuda Day, my wife and I have great pleasure in conveying our warmest congratulations to your Premier and to the people of Bermuda.
I cherish greatly the strong ties between us and know that we will continue working together on important climate change and environmental issues.
I have such fond memories of my visit to Bermuda 55 years ago and remain very proud to have opened Bermuda’s parliament on the 350th anniversary. Throughout my visit I was struck by Bermuda’s stunning natural beauty and rich heritage.
I am heartened by the valuable work being undertaken in Bermuda to combat climate change, including harnessing live corals for coastal protection, progressing the transition to renewable energy and community fundraising to establish the High Point Nature Reserve. My wife and I would like to take this opportunity to send our very best wishes for the year ahead.
Charles R.
