Chief Minister hails crown dependency relations

The Chief Minister says the Island will continue to work closely with its Channel Island counterparts on many issues.

Allan Bell led the Manx delegation at Friday’s British-Irish Council summit in Jersey with top-level discussions on a range of issues.

With the nations involved facing many similar issues, Mr Bell says the crown dependencies can learn from each other.

However, he believes the Isle of Man remains in competition economically and has to stay more alert than ever.
