“Our sincere thanks go to the Chief Minister, the Hon Gilbert Licudi, Minister for the Port, the Hon Dr. John Cortes and all the attendees for taking the time to join us. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy our unique space and provide our fellow delegates with the opportunity to take a different view of Gibraltar and meet with some local contacts”.
