There's great potential for the Crown Dependencies to work together more closely in future.
So says Chief Minister Allan Bell, who held talks with his Jersey and Guernsey counterparts in London on Thursday.
A number of issues were discussed, including the economy, growing global pressure on tax issues and international aid contributions.
Mr Bell says it's something of a return of the tripartite meetings of old, which had fallen by the wayside somewhat in recent years:
Manxman repairs expected to exceed £2.5m
The Steam Packet's flagship has been out of action since July
Treasury Minister: Taxpayer footing Manxman repair bill
Steam Packet has previously said it would be paying
Island's youngest ever MHK says he has 'a lot to prove'
Eighteen-year-old Daniel Davison elected in Glenfaba and Peel
"Clearly I'm a candidate" for chief minister - Chris Thomas
Douglas Central MHK re-elected for the fourth time
