New areas of common interest are being established between the Madrid, London and Gibraltar and when the Moratinos visit takes place it will be the first official visit to the Rock by a top official from the Spanish Government.

It will take place at the third round of the three-way talks on the Rock, and this time will be held there at the express invitation of the Gibraltar First Minister, Peter Caruana. The meeting is expected within the year.

Among the subjects pending is the opening of the first offices of the Cervantes Institute in Gibraltar, and the joint fight against organised crime and illegal immigration.
