A delegation from the Gibraltar Branch of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association is currently participating in the 49th Regional Conference of the British Islands and Mediterranean Region that has been organised by CPA Malta. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the conference is being held virtually with branches from the region joining the conference via video. The Gibraltar delegation is attending as a group and is based in the Gibraltar Parliament.

The Conference theme this year is: “The role of Parliamentarians in times of crisis” and the Conference focuses on the COVID-19 pandemic and how this has impacted the Parliaments in the region.
