“What I was very anxious to put across today was that Europe is not decoupling, Ireland is not decoupling. Europe and Ireland are very much up for a strong economic relationship with China and that de-risking is very much more in the context of lessons learned from the pandemic, from Brexit in our situation and the war in Ukraine, that overdependencies can create resilience issues for every economy and every society,” he told reporters later.
He said that everyone knew about Ireland as a trading country and that it had opened the world’s first free trade zone at Shannon.
