The First Minister Arlene Foster is travelling to China on Sunday.

Mrs Foster was originally going with the Deputy First Minster Martin McGuinness but he pulled out due to "unforeseen personal circumstances."

She will hold a series of meetings during the trip including a visit to the Northern Ireland Bureau in China.

The First Minister is also hoping to meet Liu Yandong, the Chinese vice-premier.

Mrs Foster will also meet representatives from Bombardier, who have a site at Shenyang.
