Hillary Clinton has said the longevity of the Good Friday Agreement remains a 'triumph of diplomacy'
HILLARY CLINTON HAS said hopefully the Windsor Framework will move forward to reestablish the Executive Government in Northern Ireland.
Referencing the war in Ukraine, Clinton said “these are trying times and it can be tempting to just walk away from these difficulties”. She thanked the Tánaiste Micheál Martin, who was at last night’s event, for Ireland’s kind response to refugees from Ukraine. Clinton famously decided to grant the former Sinn Féin leader a US Visa in 1994, much to the anger of the UK Government at the time.Last night she said the National Committee on American Foreign Policy, who gave the award to her, was a strong advocate for Gerry Adams getting the visa in the 90s, which Clinton said was important to facilitating the beginning of the peace process.
“I warmly welcome the agreement in principle of the Windsor Framework. Both the EU and the UK worked incredibly hard to address the genuine concerns that had arisen from the operation of the Protocol made necessary by Brexit. In this anniversary year of the Good Friday Agreement, the Government of Ireland is thinking, not only of what was achieved 25 years ago, but of all that can still be achieved in the 25 years to come. @NATLCOMMITTEE pic.twitter.
