Letter of congratulation from President Donald Tusk to An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar
On behalf of the European Council, I would like to congratulate you on your appointment, and wish you and your government every success. Ireland is rightly admired for its strong economy; vibrant and open society; and stalwart commitment to Europe.
I want to assure you of the great sensitivity amongst your partners in the EU27 to the challenge now facing the island of Ireland after the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union in 2019. Addressing these unique circumstances is a priority for the first phase of talks. Flexible and imaginative solutions will be needed and I am fully committed to working closely with you in this respect.
Notwithstanding the importance of the Brexit negotiations, the European Union will progress its other business. I look forward to welcoming you to the European Council next week where we will discuss security and defence; jobs, growth and competitiveness; migration; and external relations.
Is mise le meas,
Letter of congratulations from President Donald Tusk to Taoiseach Leo Varadkar
