The Northern Ireland Bureau, China
The Northern Ireland Bureau was established in September 2014 by the First Minister and deputy First Minister to develop relations with China that would provide mutual benefits. The Bureau has both a diplomatic and a Representative Office in Beijing, promoting the Executive’s priorities to China’s central, provincial and municipal governments.
Role
Our role is to promote Northern Ireland as a place to do business, to study, share best practice, enjoy each other’s culture, and to visit us.
Our strategy
Our strategy is to target regions where we can build partnerships by promoting NI’s experience and expertise in sectors where we are considered to have international best practice. This will lead to opportunities for economic, education, research and cultural co-operation.
