US President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak held talks this morning after the US president arrived in Northern Ireland to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, APA reports citing Sky News.
"We spoke in particular about the incredible economic opportunities that are there in store for Northern Ireland," Sunak said afterwards.
"I know he shares my ambition to see institutions here back up and running, that's what people and businesses in Northern Ireland deserve."
The US President also met with the leaders of Northern Ireland's five main political parties. It is unclear if they held separate meetings.
"The message is twofold. It's congratulations on 25 years of the Good Friday agreement... (and) to talk about the importance of trying to work on trade and economic policies that benefit all communities as well as the United States," said White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby, who is traveling with Biden.
They are also set to meet at the G7 next month in Japan and in Washington in June.
