Officials attending the pre-Joint Ministerial Council Meeting were treated to a cultural evening at the Turtle Farm last night, Wednesday 16 July 2014.

Governor Helen Kilpatrick, Premier Alden McLaughlin, Ministers of Government and other local dignitaries hosted the visitors at the West Bay event.

The programme included live music, dancing and folk-singing, as well as local cuisine – all in an idyllic setting, surrounded by Cayman waters, giant green sea turtles, and other native flora and fauna.
