I have accepted an invitation to attend the coronation of King Charles lll.
We are living in a time of great change. A time to respect our differing and equally legitimate aspirations, and focus on the opportunities the next decade will bring.
I am an Irish Republican. I also recognise there are many people on our island for whom the coronation is a hugely important occasion.
I am committed to being a First Minister for all, representing the whole community, and advancing peace and reconciliation through respectful and mature engagement.
Therefore I will join President of Ireland Michael D Higgins, international figures, other party leaders and the Assembly Speaker for the coronation of King Charles III.
