Joe Biden is heading to Northern Ireland today as part of a visit to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement.<\/p>\n
The US President is expected to meet with Stormont’s main political parties and hold a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.<\/p>\n
During his four-day trip, Mr Biden will also travel to the Republic of Ireland where he will carry out a number of engagements.<\/p>\n
He tweeted: “25 years ago, Northern Ireland’s leaders chose peace. The Belfast\/Good Friday Agreement ended decades of violence and brought stability.<\/p>\n
“I look forward to marking the anniversary in Belfast, underscoring the U.S. commitment to preserving peace and encouraging prosperity.”<\/p>\n
The visit coincides with the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, which largely brought an end to the Troubles, in Northern Ireland in 1998.<\/p>\n
