The British High Commission marked the 77th birthday of King Charles III with a reception at the High Commissioner’s Residence, celebrating the long-standing partnership between the UK and Trinidad and Tobago.
High Commissioner John Dean highlighted cooperation in education, culture, sport and climate action, noting Dwight Yorke’s influence on Caribbean footballers.
He also reaffirmed that new visa requirements for T&T nationals stem from rising asylum claims, but do not weaken bilateral ties.
Dean announced new climate-resilience funding through the Green Climate Fund and reported a surge in UK–T&T trade, now valued at £1.3 billion.
Foreign Affairs Minister Sean Sobers praised the role of innovation and diversity in modern diplomacy.
