I spoke with Prime Minister Boris Johnson by phone on Tuesday, 30 June. The Prime Minister congratulated me on my appointment and we both looked forward to working together.

We had a constructive discussion that covered the current Covid-19 situation and our respective plans to deal with its impact on the economy, employment and society. We also discussed Brexit, and the negotiations currently taking place between the UK and the EU.We agreed to work closely on Northern Ireland, and on strengthening bilateral relations, especially in the post Brexit era.

We looked forward to meeting in the near future.
