Recent reports in the Spanish media have suggested that British foreign office minister Denis MacShane and his Spanish counterpart, Ramon de Miguel are scheduling a meeting for the first week in June, immediately after the NATO Foreign Ministers' conference in Madrid.
Gibraltar's sovereignty is likely to be at the top of the agenda of any Anglo-Spanish talks, especially from a Spanish perspective with fresh questions arising in the light of the European Constitution agreement currently under discussion.
However, given the recent tensions in the Middle East and the heightened state of alert around the world generally, Gibraltar has now taken on a wider strategic significance, and its military value has brought the United States into the picture in any future discussions of the Rock's sovereignty. According to some reports, it is thought in British diplomatic circles that the Gibraltar issue has already been raised in bi-lateral talks between Spain and the United States.
