The Chief Minister, said: "I was delighted to meet Presidente Moreno in person, having spoken on a number of occasions during and after Covid. He is an affable and friendly personality who has repeatedly stated his positive views about a UK/EU Treaty on Gibraltar’s future relationship with the EU. I very much welcomed the chance to exchange views with him on the positive prospects for a Treaty as well as introducing him to my children, as he introduced me to his. I look forward to continuing a positive relationship with the Junta President going forward."
