I had the opportunity for a short conversation with President Biden at the reception he hosted, together with First Lady, Dr Jill Biden, for Leaders attending United Nations General Assembly High-Level Week in New York.
I updated him on developments in relation to Northern Ireland, including recent British legislation on legacy cases, setting out our deep concerns on its implications; and on efforts to restore the institutions under the Good Friday Agreement. I thanked him for his continuing interest in the peace process, including his appointment of Joe Kennedy III as Economic Envoy to Northern Ireland.
As on previous occasions when we have met, the President was well-informed and offered his assistance, and that of his Administration, whenever it would be helpful.
