At Crowe Ireland, the China Desk plays an important role in facilitating both inbound and outbound opportunities between Ireland and China. Collaboration between the two nations continues to grow across trade, education, culture and technology, creating valuable opportunities for businesses and institutions in both countries.

This relationship was further strengthened by the official visit of Taoiseach Micheál Martin to China from 4–8 January 2026, the first such visit since 2012. During the visit, the Taoiseach met with President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Qiang, and NPC Chairman Zhao Leji to discuss bilateral cooperation in trade, investment, and global affairs. Engagements with Irish and Chinese business leaders across sectors such as financial services, higher education and food and beverage also highlighted significant opportunities for investors and exporters.
