The president of the World Bank Group has praised the Isle of Man for its work as a financial jurisdiction.
Robert Zoellick was speaking to the Small States Forum in Istanbul, Turkey.
A few weeks after a small countries financial managment programme was held in Douglas, Treasury Minister Allan Bell had a five minute audience to put forward the Island's case.
He says such an opportunity, coupled with Mr Zoellick's comments, could prove invaluable:
