Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin will today hold talks with senior officials at the UN on foreign policy issues.
Mr Martin, who is visiting New York on a short trip, is expected to discuss the Middle East and the Irish peacekeeping mission in Chad.
Mr Martin yesterday met business executives during the two-day visit in a bid to help attract jobs and investment across the Atlantic. He also addressed America Ireland Fund dinner in Manhattan.
The Minister is using the visit to promote the inaugural Global Irish Economic Forum taking place in Farmleigh in the Phoenix Park in September.
The event, modelled on the annual business summits in Davos, Switzerland, will see a gathering of over 120 Irish political, business, entertainment and sporting heroes from across the world to discuss initiatives to tackle the downturn.
Mr Martin will meet leaders of the Irish community in New York before returning to Ireland tomorrow morning.
