Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has urged Northern Ireland politicians to return to power-sharing as he hailed the “bravery” and “perseverance” of negotiators of the Good Friday Agreement.

In a statement released on Monday marking exactly 25 years since the signing of the historic peace deal, Sunak praised the “difficult decisions” taken and “political imagination” that helped put an end to 30 years of violence in the province.
