During his time in the US, Mr. PIcardo has met with the Council of Foreign Affairs in order to further spread Gibraltar’s message…
KUPCHAN: Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Charlie Kupchan. I'm a senior fellow here at CFR and I'm delighted to welcome all of you to our discussion this afternoon. Thanks for braving the weather and putting on your flippers and your snorkels to come out today. Before we start, let me remind everyone to turn off your devices, because it can interfere with the microphones. In fact, you need to turn them off, deactivate them and destroy them. Those are the new council rules.
This morning,Chief Minister Fabian Picardo made a presentation to the US National Press Club, in Washington DC on why Gibraltar matters to the United States. Mr. Picardo’s speech, in its entirety, is as follows:
The Gibraltar Football Association’s young Under 19s team left Gibraltar this morning, where they are set to play their first round of UEFA grade Qualifying Rounds for the European U-19 Championship.
The 16 strong team will first stop in Sofia, Bulgaria to play a friendly match against the national U-19 team, this Friday. Following this, the group will set off for the Czech Republic where they will play matches against Croatia, Czech Republic and Cyprus. The top two teams of each group will then progress to the Elite Round alongside the third-placed team with the best record against the top pair in their group.
