Ireland and Croatia enjoy excellent bilateral relations. As smaller states within the European Union, we share a common outlook and work closely together both in the EU and in other multilateral fora. Both Ireland and Croatia also share a firm commitment to multilateralism and to adhering to the international rules-based order.

We were delighted to welcome the Croatian Prime Minister, Andrej Plenkovic, to Dublin last September for a programme of events during which he met with, among others, the Taoiseach and President Higgins.

Minister of State for Business, Employment and Retail, Mr Neale Richmond, TD will also visit Croatia for Saint Patrick’s Day this year for a wide-ranging programme.

My diary for visits for the first half of 2024 has yet to be finalised. However, I have not at present scheduled a visit to Croatia for this period.
