<p>In the <em>New Decade, New Approach </em>deal, the Government committed to marking
this centenary, recognising that it offered an opportunity to reflect on the past
as well as to build for the future, in Northern Ireland, across the UK and internationally.
We committed to facilitating national recognition and international awareness of the
anniversary, which marks not only the centenary of Northern Ireland, but also of the
United Kingdom as we know it.</p><p>On his recent visit to Northern Ireland, the Prime
Minister announced the establishment of a Centenary Forum, and a Centenary Historical
Advisory Panel. This will offer us the opportunity to work with a broad spectrum of
people to deliver an ambitious and exciting programme of events to mark the anniversary.
Further details about the centenary programme will be available later in the autumn.</p><p>
