Delegates from the Arab Ambassadors’ Council - which represents ambassadors of Arab states to the UK - are in the Island this week for talks with States leaders and the private sector.
Led by the Ambassador of the State of Kuwait, Khaled Al Duwaisan, the delegates will attend meetings with the Chief Minister and other ministers, including External Relations Minister, Sir Philip Bailhache, Treasury and Resources Minister, Philip Ozouf; and Assistant Economic Development Minister James Baker.
The programme includes meetings with finance industry representatives, a private view of the coin hoard at Jersey Museum, and tours of Mont Orgueil and Durrell Wildlife Park. The delegation will also be guests of honour at a dinner hosted by the Bailiff, Sir Michael BIrt, to which all States Members have been invited.
Senator Gorst said: “It is an honour to welcome to Jersey such a prestigious delegation from the Arab Ambassadors’ Council. This visit will reinforce our ties with existing partners such as the UAE and Qatar, and will help to promote Jersey more widely in the region. Direct engagement of this kind raises Jersey’s profile and helps to identify opportunities for further, mutually beneficial relations.”
