NI Secretary Of State To Meet With Michel Barnier
NI Secretary of State Karen Bradley is to meet with Michel Barnier, the European Union’s Chief Negotiator today, 25 June.
She is expected to reinforce her commitment to upholding Northern Ireland's interests as the UK prepares to leave the EU, and to help secure a deal that works for the entire United Kingdom.
Speaking ahead of her visit she said: "We are confident that we will secure a good deal for the whole of the UK, and we are working towards finalising this with the EU in the autumn.
"As we do, we will ensure that our departure from the EU does not do anything to set back the historic progress we have made in Northern Ireland over the past 20 years, and that the Belfast Agreement is protected in all its parts as set out in the December Joint Report."
