Tánaiste Micheál Martin has officially opened a new office in Shanghai housing the Irish Consulate-General and several state agencies.
Known as Ireland House, it is the first time that both the consulate and these state agencies are represented in the one building.And though former Taoiseach Jack Lynch visited Shanghai in 1980, it was not until 2000 that Ireland established a consulate general here.
In the time since, Bord Bia, Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland and Tourism Ireland have established a presence in the city, which is China's largest and lies at the delta of Yangtzte River, the country's main waterway - home to the largest seaport in the world.Speaking at the opening of Ireland House in Shanghai, the Tánaiste said it would help create a dynamic future for the relationship between Ireland and China.
