<p>Since the previous round of talks finished in 2018, this Government has focused
on taking steps to ensure good governance can continue in Northern Ireland. This has
included the Northern Ireland (Executive Formation and Exercise of Functions) Act
2018 that provides the Northern Ireland Civil Service the certainty and clarity they
need to continue to deliver public services in the absence of Ministers. The Government
remains of the view, however, that the best guarantee of good governance is the restoration
of the Belfast Agreement institutions and is focused on seeking agreement between
the parties as part of the current talks process.</p>
