Officials from the Government of Jersey London Office supported Ministers attending the 37th British-Irish Council (BIC) summit in Guernsey from the 7th – 8th July. The Jersey delegation included the then Chief Minister John Le Fondré, Chief Minister-designate Deputy Kristina Moore and Deputy Ian Gorst. Jersey’s Chief Executive and Head of Public Service Suzanne Wylie also attended the event.
In Guernsey, Ministers considered the latest political updates from across the administrations and held a thematic discussion on Collaborative Spatial Planning. A press conference was also held for the Heads of Administration.
Jersey is set to host the bi-annual summit in the Summer of 2023 which brings together representatives from the Irish Government; UK Government; Scottish Government; Northern Ireland Executive; Welsh Government; Isle of Man Government; and the Governments of Jersey & Guernsey.
Chief Minister-designate Kristina Moore said: “It was a privilege to attend my first BIC summit. It is an important forum for consultation and cooperation across several key areas, including energy, housing, and the environment. I look forward to attending future summits, and to further strengthen Jersey’s relationships with all Council members”.
Chief Minister John Le Fondré said: “It was a great pleasure to represent Jersey at the British-Irish Council again. The Summit provides the opportunity to discuss the crucial issues facing all our jurisdictions, and to both learn from others and share Jersey’s successes. This summit’s thematic discussion on collaborative spatial planning is of particular significance to the Island given the challenges we face. It’s important that we continue to work closely with our colleagues across Britain and Ireland moving forward”.
