The United Kingdom Overseas Territories Association (UKOTA) is an organisation that exists to promote the interests of the United Kingdom Overseas Territories and co-operation between them. Specifically, UKOTA demonstrates the collective and individual partnerships between the territories and Her Majesty’s Government. It was established in 1993 during the first Dependent Territories Conference.[1]
