The resolution of the Middle East Peace Process is a foreign policy priority for the Government. There are also many other political issues in the wider Middle East region, not least arising from the events of the Arab Spring, as well as important trade opportunities for Ireland. It is therefore certainly my intention to make a first visit to the Middle East as soon as I can. At this point, however, no specific visit has yet been scheduled.
