Spain and Britain pledge to work on solving Gibraltar dispute
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 31 - 03 - 2011

Akhir 26, 1432, March 31, 2011, SPA-- Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
and Britain's Prince Charles on Thursday called for bilateral
"cooperation" to solve the Gibraltar dispute, according to dpa.
London and Madrid should maintain political efforts to
solve "pending" bilateral issues, a Spanish government communique
quoted the Prince of Wales and Zapatero as saying during a meeting in
Madrid.
The communique did not mention Gibraltar, but it is known to be
among the pending issues, and was raised by Spain's Crown Prince
Felipe at a gala dinner with Charles and wife Camilla Parker-Bowles
on Wednesday.
It was time for both countries to "advance in solving the
historical bilateral dispute," Felipe said.
Spain has claimed the enclave on its southernmost tip since it was
ceded to Britain by the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht. The vast majority of
Gibraltar's 30,000 residents, however, want to remain British.
Earlier on Thursday, Charles stressed the "urgent challenge" to
fight climate change at a ceremony where he received symbolic keys
to the city of Madrid.
The visit to Spain was the second leg of Charles and Camilla's
foreign tour to promote British business and renewable energy. The
Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall arrived in Spain from
Portugal.
After visiting Madrid, the royal couple were scheduled to spend a
few days in the southern city of Seville, before heading for Morocco
over the weekend.
Nearly 390,000 Britons live permanently in Spain, including many
pensioners. Britain is Spain's second-largest investor, with about
700 British companies based in the country.
Charles has made 10 official visits to Spain, but this week's
visit was his first with the Duchess of Cornwall.
