The Anglo-Irish Agreement, which was signed on 15 November 1985 by the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and the Irish Taoiseach Garret FitzGerald, marked a significant development in Anglo-Irish relations. It created a framework for greater cooperation between Britain and Ireland on political matters; security and related issues; legal matters, including the administration of justice; enabled an Irish Government input on Northern Ireland concerns and the promotion of cross-border cooperation. Although it was controversial among some parts of Northern Ireland society when it was signed, the Anglo-Irish Agreement arguably laid the groundwork for the later peaceful resolution of the Troubles.
This one-day conference to mark the 40th anniversary of this agreement brings together speakers who were directly involved in the negotiations on behalf of the British and Irish governments as well as international and Northern Ireland political figures. Together they will reflect on the genesis of the Agreement, the political reactions to it, subsequent developments, outworkings and enduring impacts.
The conference is hosted in partnership with the 
John and Pat Hume Foundation
, the 
Royal Irish Academy
 and the 
Civic Engagement and Strategic Communications Directorate, QUB.

永远的宁海

The performance in the children&#39;s theater was wonderful, the plot was simple and easy to understand, the actors&#39; performances were lively and interesting, and there were interactive sessions. The children watched it with rapt attention, and after watching it, they were still not satisfied and kept talking about it!

The Belfast Cathedral was founded in 1899 and completed in 1904. It is a Victorian church building. Although it may be relatively young compared to other historic churches, it is the most important church in this place.

Belfast City Hall

放飞自我去游玩

We were led by a big-bellied man, who took the middle staircase to the second floor. He asked us to introduce ourselves at the circular handrail in the middle. We were from all over the country, and most of us were foreigners. Then he led us to the parliament hall, which is where the parliamentarians usually hold meetings. There was a microphone at each seat. He then began to talk about the origin and function of this building, and spoke with great vigor. Everyone could sit anywhere, even the speaker&#39;s seat. After the introduction, he led us to visit other halls. The huge banquet hall was covered with thick and beautiful red carpet. I can&#39;t remember which hall was covered with blue carpet.

Belfast Castle
