Annual Summit with Ille et Vilaine
As part of the ongoing cooperation, Jersey and Guernsey have attended the annual political summit with the departmental council of Ille-et-Vilaine to review how they have been working together.
The departmental council of Ille et Vilaine hosted the 2022 summit in Rennes; the first time that the meeting has taken place in person since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. The cooperation agreement, between Guernsey, Jersey and the departmental council of Ille et Vilaine, renewed in 2020 for a period of three years, facilitates joint working in a number of areas, including education, youth mobility, culture and arts, overseas aid, transport and trade. It also enables discussions on strategic issues such as the impact on the Channel Islands of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine.
