Answer
Since the restoration of the Institutions, our officials have supported official visits from over 25 different countries. We continue to take every opportunity to show that Executive is back up and running and we are open to partnerships that support our economic growth but also help us to deliver outcomes for our citizens.
International interest in all that we have to offer continues to grow – we have a reputation as one of the world's best business set-up partners and as an investment destination of choice.
The International Relations Strategy will intersect with broader Executive and departmental strategies and actions and will be important in setting out our long-term approach to international engagement. The Strategy requires Executive agreement.
