French-speaking parliamentarians meeting in Jersey

The conference began on Sunday and will end on 20 May

Twenty-nine delegates from 13 French-speaking areas are attending a conference in Jersey.

The Conférence des Présidents of the European Region will focus on strengthening the role of young adults in economic and sustainable development.

The conference began on Sunday and will end on Tuesday, with a cultural visit scheduled to take place on Tuesday morning.

Deputy Montfort Tadier, president of the Jersey branch of the Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie (APF), said: "We are delighted to welcome our Francophonie friends to Jersey to further foster those connections."

The APF is an international organisation that brings together parliamentarians from countries where French is either spoken or plays a significant role.

Jersey has been a member of the APF since 1971.
