SUMMIT WITH NORMANDY AND LA MANCHE
Government of Jersey and States of Guernsey have an established partnership with the Region of Normandy and Department of La Manche in 2015. That is in this context that an annual summit is organised to discuss matters of joint interest. This year’s event was hosted by La Manche, at the Mont St Michel. Deputy Lyndon Trott and Deputy Lyndon Farnham, respectively Chief Ministers of Guernsey and Jersey attended the event, alongside Jersey’s Minister for External Relations, Deputy Ian Gorst, to meet the President of the Region of Normandy, the President of the Department of La Manche and the Prefet of La Manche.
Topics of discussion covered maritime planification and offshore windfarm projects, economic opportunities and challenges between our jurisdictions. Also some talks on forthcoming CTA and EU immigration rules, emergency planning cooperation plans to be formalised in the coming month, and several major commemorative or cultural events where the Channel Islands will be able to participate and shine.
A worthwhile summit where politicians could express and share views in a transparent way to progress matters further in wide range of topics.
Next year, Jersey will be hosting the annual event.
