The pair are due to mark the 25th anniversary of the Belfast Agreement - also known as the Good Friday Agreement which brought an end to the conflict. And as Mr Biden gets ready to visit to Ireland and the UK, the Prime Minister said: "The Belfast Agreement was an incredible moment in our nation's history.

"It was a powerfully rare example of people doing the unthinkable to create a better future for Northern Ireland. It is that promise of a better future we offered to Northern Ireland that I will be thinking of first and foremost over the coming days.

"It is my responsibility to ensure we are making good on that promise."
