A quarter of a century after the signing of the peace deal that ended three decades of violence in Northern Ireland, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said efforts must be stepped up to restore central government authority in the province.
Signed in Belfast on April 10, 1998, the Good Friday Agreement is considered one of the most important peace agreements of the late 20th century. The agreement ended three decades of fighting in which more than 3,600 people were killed.
But peace is subject to challenges following the exit of Great Britain from the European Union, reports Reuters.
“This is an agreement born out of the partnership between the British and Irish governments and, as we will see from President Biden’s visit this week, it continues to enjoy huge international support from our close allies,” Sunak said.
Last month, Britain’s MI5 intelligence agency raised the threat level in Northern Ireland from domestic terrorism to “severe”, meaning an attack was considered highly likely.
Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar pledged on Sunday to step up efforts with Sunak to break the political deadlock in the province.
