McFadden, alongside Northern Ireland secretary Hilary Benn, met with resetting and strengthening the relationship between Westminster and the devolved governments of the UK.
Discussions covered the inaugural meeting of the Council of the Nations and Regions expected in the coming weeks, as well as the UK’s International Investment Summit.
McFadden also visited the Stormont Government Estate, the UK Government Hub at Erskine House in Belfast and toured Red Bay Boats’ manufacturing facility in Cushendall, County Antrim and met representatives from the Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for Intergovernmental Relations, the Rt Hon Pat McFadden MP, said: "The Government takes seriously having a good working relationship with the Northern Ireland Executive.
