Premier David Burt recently met with UN Resident Coordinator Denis Zulu which “provided an opportunity to strengthen partnerships and explore additional areas of collaboration with the United Nations.”
A Government spokesperson said, “The Premier of Bermuda, the Hon. E. David Burt, JP, MP, welcomed Mr. Denis Zulu, United Nations Resident Coordinator for Bermuda, Jamaica, the Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos Islands, to the Cabinet Office last week for an official visit.
“Premier Burt was joined by Deputy Premier and Minister of Housing and Municipalities, the Hon. Zane DeSilva, JP, MP; Minister of Youth, Social Development and Seniors, the Hon. Tinee Furbert, JP, MP; and Minister of Public Works and Environment, the Hon. Jache Adams, JP, MP.

“The visit provided an opportunity to strengthen partnerships and explore additional areas of collaboration with the United Nations. Although Bermuda is not a member state of the United Nations and is a territory of the United Kingdom, there are still opportunities to train and support Bermudians who can advocate for the Island’s interests in regional and international forums.
“Topics discussed during the meeting included food security, education, youth policy, environmental resilience, and support for women, youth, and persons with disabilities.”
Premier Burt noted, “This meeting reinforced the value of regional dialogue. Our young people, in particular, stand to benefit from increased exposure to global institutions, opportunities for learning, and greater involvement in helping to shape the issues that affect their future.”
Minister DeSilva added: “It was an honour to meet Mr. Zulu and his team. We look forward to continued engagement and the exchange of ideas and information that can benefit both Bermuda and the wider region.”
Minister Furbert said of Mr Zulu’s visit to the Cabinet Office: “The relationship and exchange that the United Nations Development Coordination Office for Latin America and the Caribbean has been able to cultivate with Bermuda has been beneficial for collaboration, connectivity, and progression of the sustainable development goals across Latin America and the Caribbean. We are thankful.”
Mr. Zulu shared: “It was an honour to make my first official visit to Bermuda and to meet with Premier David Burt and members of his Cabinet. Our exchange was rich, forward-looking, and grounded in a shared commitment to advancing sustainable development for all. I congratulate the Premier on his continued leadership.
“I reaffirm the United Nations’ full support to the Government and people of Bermuda as we explore new avenues of collaboration, particularly in areas such as youth empowerment, environmental resilience, and inclusive growth.”
