The Chief Minister has confirmed Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond will visit the Island later this year to deliver a keynote speech.
Allan Bell said he’s developed good relations with the SNP leader as the country continues to move towards greater independence.
No date has yet been set for Mr Salmond's visit but it's thought to most likely happen nearer autumn.
Mr Bell once again reiterated the importance of developing stronger ties with Scotland, which he believes will become an increasingly valuable neighbour of the Isle of Man.
