A statement from the Government follows below:

There were detailed discussions on the aspirations of the Association in developing further social  and cultural links with communities across the Strait. An ambitious programme of events is planned,  both in Gibraltar and in northern Morocco, for the next year, and the Minister committed his  Ministry’s support, as well as his own, to the Association’s work.
