I wish to extend my congratulations to Liz Truss on her appointment today as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
A shared history and close ties of people, of economy, and of culture link our two countries. A strong partnership between our two governments is vital to underpin the Good Friday Agreement and support peace and prosperity on these islands.
I hope we can use the period ahead to prioritise EU-UK engagement , and to reach agreed outcomes on the issues around implementation of the Northern Ireland Protocol.
I am committed to a strong and deep relationship between our countries, and to working in an open and constructive way with Prime Minister Truss.
I look forward to our close cooperation and early engagement as we face important issues on these islands and globally.
