<p>The UK continually monitors our defence presence in Gibraltar and routinely adjusts
our force posture and resources as appropriate. Gibraltar is, and will remain a key
centre for the UK's Defence interests and the UK Government takes its responsibility
for protecting the sovereignty of Gibraltar very seriously. The UK maintains a permanent
military presence in Gibraltar in recognition of its enduring geo-strategic importance
as the gateway to the Mediterranean, assuring maritime transit routes and maintaining
access to Cyprus and the Suez Canal in support of UK national interests.</p>
