First Minister opens NI Executive Bureau in China
The DUP leader, who visited Beijing this week to promote Northern Ireland, said: “The official opening of the Bureau in Beijing signals our clear determination to build a long lasting presence and relationship in China.
“The Executive Office has had a presence in Beijing since 2014 and I am honoured to officially open the Northern Ireland Executive Bureau.

“We want to see Northern Ireland organisations come to China and for Chinese organisations and people to consider Northern Ireland as an option, whether it is for business, education or cultural development.
“The Northern Ireland Bureau gives us a firm presence and it will work hard to promote Northern Ireland and the compelling proposition we have to offer.”
