And she held discussions with the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar about the co-operation and links between Scotland and Ireland.

She said:

It is in the interest of both countries to ensure that we continue to work together and co-operate, not just on an economic level but also in dealing with similar challenges around political engagement.  This is exactly why we must strengthen, not strain these bonds.”

Scotland and Ireland share a long-standing history and it is vital that existing bonds are ‘strengthened not strained’ as the UK heads towards the EU exit, First Minister @NicolaSturgeon said today following her meeting with @LeoVaradkar 🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 https://t.co/fxWp72LbUb pic.twitter.com/6489ITnBeB
