Answer
Through our draft Programme for Government, we have set out an ambitious programme of change, including job creation and growing a sustainable economy that works for all. The Northern Ireland Bureau in China, alongside our other overseas offices and the Invest NI network, will play a key role in this regard.
Our draft International Relations Strategy currently under development will set out our ambition to build on the goodwill and strong levels of interest that the Bureau has established in developing our relations and pursuing opportunities both in China and across the wider Asia-Pacific region.
