Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin will visit China starting Sunday, marking the first trip by an Irish Taoiseach to the country since 2012, as Beijing moves to strengthen ties with individual European Union member states.
The Taoiseach has stated that while Ireland is open to being part of a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine, it will not participate in any troop deployment intended as a military deterrent.
