Envoy: Sino-Irish ties set to be intensified

Sino-Irish economic and trade relations will be further intensified in the years ahead under the Belt and Road Initiative, Ireland's ambassador to China said.

Ambassador Paul Kavanagh said the two countries were expected to see extensive opportunities for cooperation in fields such as green technology, life sciences and financial services.

As an open-minded and flexible initiative, the Belt and Road Initiative is not only open to Asian countries, but also to rest of the world, he said.
