The Government is in regular and ongoing contact with the Palestinian and Israeli Governments through diplomatic channels. I was fortunate to be able to meet the Palestinian Minister for Communications, Sabri Saidam, at the EuroMed ICT ministerial meeting in Dundalk earlier this month. I hope to travel to the region later this year and to meet my Israeli and Palestinian counterparts and other senior representatives. I will also be attending the EuroMed ministerial meeting in Luxembourg on 30-31 May, where I hope to meet Foreign Ministers from Israel,Palestine and the wider region to review progress in the peace process.
