I attended the Asia Europe Summit in Brussels on 19 October. On the margins of the meeting, I had the opportunity to meet with a number of Asian leaders, including the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. I recalled the Prime Minister's visit to Ireland in 2013 and spoke of the continuing close relationship between Ireland and Japan. I also outlined the reasons Ireland has sought election to the UN Security Council for the term 2021-2022.
