Lord Frost will meet with his EU counterpart Maros Sefcovic in Brussels this evening for crunch talks as the two sides inch towards a deal to ease post-Brexit trade checks in Northern Ireland.
The Cabinet Office minister and the vice president of the European Commission are due to meet for dinner amid signs progress is being made.
It is hoped a breakthrough on the thorny issue of border checks will help to bring to an end recent disorder on the streets of Belfast.
The meeting comes on the same day that Lord Frost and Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis met with Irish foreign affairs minister Simon Coveney.
