This morning, the Chief Minister Alfred Cannan MHK is representing the Isle of Man Government at the British-Irish Council Summit in Edinburgh.
Heads of government and ministers from across the UK, Ireland and the Crown Dependencies are coming together to discuss matters of mutual interest, including the transition to renewable energy.
The Chief Minister said: “The Isle of Man participates in the British-Irish Council as one of the eight member administrations.
“As a forum for constructive and focussed discussions in matters of mutual concern it is uniquely valuable for the Island.
“I will also get the chance to meet one-to-one with other leaders from across these Islands – which is beneficial in putting across the Island’s views on current issues, but also raising our profile more generally.”
The Summit, hosted by the Scottish Government, is the forty-second to be held and marks the 25th anniversary of the Council’s first meeting in London in December 1999.
