Earlier today Premier the Hon. Michael H. Dunkley JP MP met with the Chinese Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Mr. Liu Xiaoming, to discuss ways in which to establish stronger trade ties between China and Bermuda.

During their conversations, the Ambassador updated the Premier on some of the areas where he believed Bermuda and China could further strengthen their relationship - one of which was in regard to the millions of Chinese tourists that leave their homeland each year to travel overseas on vacation.

The People’s Republic of China have confirmed that Bermuda can benefit from a UK/China agreement which could float the fortunes of Bermuda’s shipping registry. This was welcome news brought by the Chinese Ambassador to the UK, Liu Xiaoming, who is visiting Bermuda this week.

This matter has been coordinated on behalf of Bermuda by Government House over the last several months.

Overnight Nicole became a Cat 2 hurricane, with 85 gusting 105 knots. Hurricane hunters are in the hurricane now and we are getting data to support this increased intensity forecast. Nicole has also not progressed forward as fast as they were predicting yesterday, which is not good because it means that it will spend more time in that region of above average sea surface temps and very low wind shear – all ingredients for further intensification… which is why their write ups are hinting at the possibility of Nicole reaching major hurricane (Cat3) strength prior to landfall here.
