Jersey and Guernsey's Chief Ministers are in Gibraltar to talk about domestic policy and international relations.

They're meeting Peter Caruana, the Chief Minister of Gibraltar, to boost the friendship between the three jurisdictions.

Like the Channel Islands, Gibraltar is in the middle of reforming its corporate tax system, with a new lower rate of 10% being introduced next January.

Deputy Lyndon Trott said: "We can learn much from other small jurisdictions, and whilst Gibraltar has many differences to the Crown Dependencies we can benefit from understanding their approach to international relations and domestic policy. The visit demonstrates the inter-island co-operation that exists with Jersey on these matters."

Guernsey’s Chief Minister is accompanied by Deputy Charles Parkinson.

No doubt these meetings included the best hotel, fancy dinners and sight seeing when probably most of the business could have been done over conference call facilities offered by Cable and Wireless which has links in all three communities.
