On the morning of January 5, 2026, President Xi Jinping met at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing with Taoiseach of Ireland Micheál Martin, who is on an official visit to China.
President Xi Jinping noted that both China and Ireland are peace-loving, open, inclusive, self-reliant and enterprising. The two countries achieved independence and national liberation through the struggle of the people, and have advanced toward modernization with the hard work of one generation after another. Since establishing the strategic partnership for mutually beneficial cooperation in 2012, the two countries have seen bilateral trade quadruple, two-way investment grow in a balanced manner, and mutual goodwill between the two peoples as they work to make their countries better. Mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit are valuable experience gathered from long-term steady development of China-Ireland relations. The two sides should jointly pass them down and carry them forward. China is ready to work with Ireland to strengthen strategic communication, deepen political mutual trust and expand practical cooperation, to deliver more benefits to the two peoples and provide more impetus for China-Europe relations.
