Top Chinese politician Liu Yandong visits Northern Ireland
Published: 12th Apr 2012 06:14:44
The highest ranking female politician in China's Communist Party is to begin an official visit to Northern Ireland later.
Liu Yandong is the only woman to occupy one of the 25 seats on the Chinese Communist Party's politburo.
She will meet with First Minister Peter Robinson and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness during the visit.
Ms Yandong will also visit Stormont during her three-day stay in Northern Ireland.
Ms Liu is a state councillor, one of the few women in a senior position in the government.
This autumn Mr Robinson and Mr McGuinness hope to travel to Beijing and they will use this visit to discuss their own trip.
