Welcome to the Northern Ireland Bureau

Northern Ireland is a dynamic, vibrant and forward-thinking region committed to promoting economic prosperity, cultural development and international growth and engagement. The success of television shows like Game of Thrones, a growing interest in Northern Ireland as a top travel destination, and its reputation as a global leader in the fields of peace, security and conflict resolution, has helped dramatically raise the profile of the region—particularly in North America. Today, Northern Ireland is widely regarded as a great place to visit, work, study, and invest.

The Northern Ireland Bureau is the diplomatic mission of the Northern Ireland Executive in the United States and Canada. We work to cultivate and strengthen links between various political, economic, educational, and cultural interests in Northern Ireland and North America.
