0:38Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden landed in Ireland Tuesday evening, embarking on a four-day journey of diplomatic and family celebration.
During his visit, Biden plans to highlight the U.S. role of 25 years ago in ending deadly bloodshed in Northern Ireland while catching up with distant relatives in the Republic of Ireland. It's his first trip back as America’s president.
Monday marked a quarter-century since the Good Friday Agreement, signed on that day in April 1998, ended decades of violence in Northern Ireland that killed 3,600 people. Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, is observing the milestone anniversary with a reunion of key players in the peace process along with Biden’s visit.
Biden's visit will take him to Belfast, the capital and largest city in Northern Ireland; Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland; and County Louth and County Mayo, on Ireland’s East and West coasts, respectively. He will also address Ireland’s Parliament.
He will spend about half a day there on Wednesday, meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak before going to Ulster University to mark the Good Friday accord anniversary with other dignitaries and players in the peace process.
The president will “engage” with the leaders of Northern Ireland's five main political parties before his speech, but there will not be a formal group meeting, the White House said.
Afterward, Biden will travel to Dublin and then head to County Louth, where the 80-year-old will dive into the Irish ancestry of which he is immensely proud and speaks about often.
