Question:
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister what role the Northern Ireland Bureau in North America has as an advocate of Northern Ireland's status as having unique dual market access to both Great Britain and the European Union.

Answer:

As a diplomatic office of the Executive, the Bureau is responsible for building relations and promoting our region to targeted groups throughout North America. A key part of the Bureau’s work in this regard is to work closely with Invest NI in promoting Northern Ireland as a great place in which to invest and from which to trade, including in relation to access.
