“In less than a month, the United Kingdom is scheduled to leave the EU. It is clear that Brexit is a matter of importance – not least for Ireland – and I’m therefore looking forward to discussing the situation with my Irish colleague,” she said.

“But there are also other important subjects on the agenda, requiring our full attention. That includes the climate challenge, and we will talk about how we can work together to solve this enormous task we are facing,” she added in the statement.
