Link to this: Individually | In context

During the next six months I will have a number of EU-related engagements including meetings of the General Affairs and External Relations Council (GAERC), the Informal Meeting of EU Ministers for Foreign Affairs in September and the European Council meeting in December.

I will continue to meet with representatives of the British Government and with all of the parties associated with the peace process in Northern Ireland and I will travel, as required, in furtherance of the Government's commitment to the full implementation of the Good Friday Agreement.

I also propose to attend the United Nations General Assembly in September. Other overseas engagements are under consideration at present and decisions on these will be taken in due course.
