Very wide ranging and productive discussion between Director General for Asia, Gerard Keown, and Director General Nakagome on 🇮🇪 - 🇯🇵 relations. Our relations continue to deepen, building on the recent Taoiseach’s visit and high level political visits. #GlobalIreland

Today I finished reading “One Good Day: My Journey to the Good Friday Agreement” by David Donoghue.

First-hand account of twists and turns leading to this historical agreement. Worth reading at this juncture in NI situation and Anglo-Irish relationship.

Today I was honoured to sign the contract with Taisei to begin construction of the new Ireland House in Tokyo. This modern building will provide accommodation for the whole Irish government presence in Japan.
