Newly appointed Governor to the Cayman Islands, Jane Owen, says she is committed to supporting the country as well as representing Britain’s interests during her tenure.

She was sworn into office on Friday (April 21), shortly after arriving in this British overseas territory on a flight from the United States.

Before her short speech, House Speaker Kathy Ebanks-Wilks, Premier Wayne Panton and Deputy Governor Franz Manderson, gave welcoming remarks and stressed the need for the governor to go to bat for the Cayman Islands on the world stage and get to grips with the issues impacting local people.

“I am both humbled and excited to be appointed as governor. First, to listen and to learn; second, to further strengthen this great vision that we share to ensure Cayman remains vibrant, successful, safe and resilient; and finally, to devote myself to the service of all the people of the Cayman Islands,” Owen said in her short speech.
