Following the election of a new Chief Minister, and Council of Ministers, in Jersey, the Chief Minister of Guernsey Deputy Lyndon Trott said:
"I would like to extend my congratulations to Deputy Lyndon Farnham for his election to Jersey's seniormost political position, and to all members of Jersey's Council of Ministers. The States of Guernsey very much looks forward to continuing our close relationship with our Jersey friends and finding more opportunities to work together on matters of mutual interest.
That close relationship has been essential in recent months, particularly in areas of external relations and constitutional matters, where the Islands' voices are strengthened by speaking as one and being very closely aligned on the big issues.
I wish Deputy Farnham all the very best as he, like me, now takes up a new role at a time of domestic and international challenge.
I would also like to thank the outgoing Chief Minister of Jersey, Deputy Kristina Moore and the Council of Ministers that has served during her leadership. While I did not have as much opportunity to work with her directly, I know the relationship between our islands has remained as strong as ever during her time as Chief Minister."
