Spain says it’s “very close” to agreeing a deal on the post-Brexit status of Gibraltar.<\/p>\n

The country’s foreign minister made the statement after meeting Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron<\/strong> in Brussels at a NATO meeting.<\/p>\n

“Today we have made progress, because David Cameron has shown a willingness to reach an agreement,” Jose Manuel Albares told reporters.<\/p>\n

“We are very, very close,” he added, in comments broadcast by Spain’s TVE.<\/p>\n

Mr Albares said the pair were discussing details such as how both sides would use the island’s airport.<\/p>\n

In a call with Mr Albares on Monday, Lord Cameron reiterated Britain’s commitment to conclude a deal on Gibraltar “as soon as possible”, said a Foreign Office spokesperson.<\/p>\n

The question of how to police Gibraltar’s border with Spain long term has been undecided since Brexit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A last-minute deal on 31 December 2020 meant Gibraltar<\/strong> stayed part of EU agreements, such as the Schengen Area, and left Spain to police the port and airport until another solution could be worked out.<\/p>\n

Spain’s foreign minister said he hoped an agreement could be signed as early as Wednesday after his country recently tabled “a balanced and generous agreement”.<\/p>\n

In late 2022, the European Commission and Spain proposed keeping Gibraltar’s land border to Spain<\/strong> open and ensuring the free flow of people.<\/p>\n

The narrow peninsula – known colloquially as ‘The Rock’ – has been a British territory since 1713, but Spain has long called for it to be handed back.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
