The Windsor Framework protects the all-Ireland economy and "cross-border trade is surging", Economy Minister Conor Murphy has a trade conference.
Speaking to more than 300 business and trade delegates at the Newry and Dundalk Chambers' Annual Cross-Border Conference which focused on 'Building a Sustainable All-Island Economy'.
The Minister said: "The Windsor Framework protects the all-Ireland economy and cross-border trade is surging. Now that there is a degree of political certainty on our trading arrangements it is time to fully grasp the opportunities.
"The themes of this conference - Skills, Support for Businesses, Net Zero, and Productivity – cover many of the ways in which the potential of the all-Ireland economy can be better realised. They also cover some of the key challenges."
