I can testify to the success, to date, of the north-west strategic partnerships group. A number of committee members were in Washington in connection with the Good Friday Agreement and its strapline was on every office we went into. It was great to see it being promoted in the US and I commend its representatives on the "Gateway for Growth" strapline. I empathise with the areas they cover and I wish them well in the future.
