We were pleased to facilitate the signing of an MOU between Queen's University Belfast, and Mongolia’s National Reference Laboratory for Food Safety (NRL).  🤝   This memorandum paves the way for collaboration on exchange of information, joint research activities, and visits and exchange of graduate students for study and research. Queen’s University Belfast has strong expertise in supporting the development of food safety and standardisation policy development, which will be invaluable in helping improve food safety and health security in Mongolia.      Our team in China was delighted to introduce the two organisations and we look forward to a successful collaboration in the months ahead.     Richard Seymore | Queen's University Belfast | Invest Northern Ireland

Ecstatic to see #NorthernIreland whiskey distilleries glossing the pages of Whisky Galore - Japan’s leading whiskey magazine. 🥃   Mr Mamoru Tsuchiya, editor in chief of the magazine and head of Japan Whisky Research Centre, is Japan’s foremost whiskey expert. The organisation distributes the magazine to 20,000 whiskey lovers and connoisseurs. In his article, which is the biggest special feature about Irish whiskey in 5 years, Mr Tsuchiya wrote about a ‘new Irish renaissance’ era, with new distilleries opening over the last 10 years. He also found it interesting that newly established craft distilleries produce various types of whiskies such as malt, pot still, grain and more. We were delighted to support Mr Tsuchiya during his recent visit to Northern Ireland, and to have the wonders of our quality #whiskey shared with #Japan!
