PM To Host NI Investment Conference

An investment conference for Northern Ireland is to be held in October, hosted by David Cameron, in an effort to attract jobs and business from overseas.

Titanic Belfast will host the event on 10 and 11 October and will be used to showcase NI as "a good place to invest, do business and visit", First Minister Peter Robinson has said.

He added: "That the prime minister has committed to attend the conference and work through the various embassies to ensure that the highest and most appropriate business delegations attend, is a tremendous endorsement of the positive experience of hosting the G8 Summit."
