The absence of a functioning Stormont Assembly while a major investment conference takes place in Belfast is a disappointment, but will not spoil the occasion, a Government minister has insisted.

Northern Ireland Minister Steve Baker said businesses from around the world are coming to Northern Ireland because they want to invest in the region.

Meanwhile, a business umbrella group also said that investors value certainty and that it is optimistic about the prospect of “more positive discussions” around the restoration of the powersharing institutions.

Around 120 businesses and investors are gathering for the conference, with the two-day event in Belfast being hosted by the Department for Business and Trade, the Northern Ireland Office and the business support agency Invest NI.

Investors from the US, Middle East, Europe and Asia Pacific regions are attending.
