36. Deputy Eamon Ryan asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the contact he has had with the Chinese Government since assuming office. [30168/17]
View answerI have corresponded with my Chinese counterpart Mr. Wang Yi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China, since my appointment as Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade in June. Similarly, the Taoiseach has corresponded with his counterpart, Premier Li Keqiang. Officials from my Department continue to engage with their counterparts regularly, in both Dublin and through Ireland’s Missions in China. The Government of Ireland is strongly committed to deepening further the links between Ireland and China at all levels. I look forward to meeting with Minister Wang Yi in person at the earliest opportunity.
