Speaking to the locals, PM Sunak said that no other region in the world has such access, making Northern Ireland an extremely attractive location for businesses to invest in. He added that during his travels around the world, he has found that businesses are eager to invest in Northern Ireland if the region’s unique economic position is maintained.
Further adding to the statement, PM Sunak said, “The immense opportunity that lies ahead for Northern Ireland as a result of this privileged access, with the potential to become the “world’s most exciting economic zone.”
