The UK and Ireland have “turned a page on the turbulent years” in their relationship and are set on a meaningful partnership, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said.<\/p>\n

He was speaking alongside the Taoiseach (Irish PM) Miche\u00e1l Martin as part of a UK-Ireland summit in Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Sir Keir said the event marked a “new era” between the two governments, which was the “right thing to do…given the global situation”.<\/p>\n

While the taoiseach said he appreciated the prime minister’s “proactivity” in resetting relations with the Irish government, after years of difficulties with the Conservatives during Brexit negotiations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The summit is the first of it’s kind and comes amid the backdrop of growing security concerns among the UK and EU countries about the influence of Russia.<\/p>\n

The business roundtable on Thursday morning included industry leaders and businesses across tech, finance, clean energy, manufacturing and construction from the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n

The discussion focused on potential opportunities for growth and investment, and how the UK and Ireland can work together to build an even more resilient and successful trading relationship.<\/p>\n

They also discussed how both countries can work closer together on renewable energy, tech, AI and security.<\/p>\n

The two leaders are also expected to announce a new data sharing arrangement aimed at increasing the production offshore energy.<\/p>\n

As part of the summit, Ireland also announced new investments into the UK worth \u00a3185.5 million, which the UK government say could create more than 2,500 jobs across the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On Wednesday, Taoiseach Miche\u00e1l Martin said the UK-Ireland summit marked a “major and significant manifestation” <\/a>of a reset in relations between the two governments in the post-Brexit era.<\/p>\n

He also paid tribute to the prime minister for “his leadership over the last while”.<\/p>\n

“He has been effective and impactful, we all want peace – there are too many wars in the world,” he told reporters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
