The Minister for Europe will be celebrating National Day in Gibraltar and will reinforce the UK’s commitment to Gibraltar and its people. In a statement, the Foreign Office says Sir Alan Duncan’s first official visit reiterates the UK’s continued support for the Rock. Sir Alan will be hosted by the Chief Minister and will attend Saturday’s concert and the National Day Rally on Sunday.
Ahead of his trip, Sir Alan Duncan said:
“I’m delighted to travel to Gibraltar on my first official visit. I was fortunate to spend some of my childhood in Gibraltar and am pleased to see how Gibraltar has flourished and grown into the successful and prosperous place it is today.
“50 years ago Gibraltar voted to stay in the British family. The UK reaffirm its support for Gibraltar, its people and its economy, and will continue to do so as long as the people of Gibraltar wish to remain British.”
