European Commission Executive Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič, Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation José Manuel Albares and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, together with the Chief Minister of Gibraltar Fabian Picardo, met in Brussels earlier today.
The Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, leaves Gibraltar tomorrow to speak at the UN Committee of 24 in New York. The Chief Minister will be accompanied by the Deputy Chief Minister, Dr Joseph Garcia, and the Chief Secretary, Mr Ernest Gomez. On Monday evening they will travel to Washington for a series of meetings before returning to Gibraltar on Thursday.
The Government is inviting expressions of interest from developers, investors or organisations interested in developing plots on the Eastside Reclamation Area.
The Spanish navy warship, SPS Vigia, passed through Gibraltar's territorial waters on its way to Algeciras port this morning. She was shadowed by HMS Sabre but the Convent confirmed that her actions were being classified as “innocent passage” because the ship did not change its course and did not assert that it was patrolling what it claims are Spanish waters as it has done in the recent past.
