First Minister Alex Salmond will today make his first official visit to Northern Ireland in a bid to build relations and to capitalise on joint opportunities.
Salmond said: "I am very much looking forward to meeting with both the
First Minister and Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland.
"We are at a time where there is great potential for Scotland and
Northern Ireland to work together constructively on issues of shared
interest.
"With restored devolution in Northern Ireland and a forward looking
government in Scotland it's time we capitalised on the opportunities
and potential we share.
Salmond will fly on the new air route linking Dundee with Belfast,
launched by flyWhoosh in May with support from the Scottish
government's Route Development Fund.
"It is entirely fitting with the nature of my visit that I'm taking
this new flight which links the two great cities of Dundee and
Belfast. I'm glad that the Scottish Government was able to support
this air route through the Route Development Fund and I look forward to
the economic and social benefits it will bring to Dundee," Salmond said.
