US President Joe Biden called Taoiseach Leo Varadkar today, as he steps down from his office, to wish to him well in whatever lies ahead.
The Taoiseach thanked him for his good wishes and paid warm tribute to the role the President has played in advancing US-Ireland relations, which have never been better.
The Taoiseach also took the opportunity to brief him on the upcoming meeting of the North/South Ministerial Council, which will take place on 8 April, and which will mark another important step forward in restoring the institutions under the Good Friday Agreement.
The Taoiseach told the President that, all going well, his successor will be appointed on 9 April and looks forward to continuing to work with the US on global affairs, including Ukraine and the Middle East, and to continuing to strengthen ties between Ireland and the US.
The Taoiseach wished the President the best of luck in November.
