U.S. President Joe Biden will fly into Northern Ireland on Tuesday for the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday agreement.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said efforts had to be bolstered to restore the power-sharing government central to the Good Friday accord.
But peace has come under strain following Britain's exit from the European Union and other political crises have overshadowed this week's commemorations. "But most importantly, it is based on compromise in Northern Ireland itself. As we look forward, we will celebrate those who took difficult decisions, accepted compromise, and showed leadership - showing bravery, perseverance, and political imagination."
