The 25th Anniversary of the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement
2023 will mark the 25th anniversary of the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement
The Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement, signed on 10 April 1998, was a remarkable achievement and brought an end to 30 years of conflict in Northern Ireland known as the Troubles. 25 years on, Northern Ireland has made significant progress towards greater prosperity, and a safer and more inclusive society.
From the creation of a devolved government, to protecting the rights of citizens, the Agreement has provided a framework for Northern Ireland’s remarkable transformation over the last 25 years.
To mark the Agreement’s 25th year, the UK Government, alongside national and international partners, will be delivering exciting projects and initiatives.
These will bring communities together to reflect on the impact the Agreement has made on life in Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, and the ongoing benefits it provides for all who live here.
A quarter of a century on from the signing of the Agreement, the journey of peace and prosperity continues today - as does the UK Government’s commitment to creating a bright, positive future for all citizens of Northern Ireland.
