A major policy document on a proposed all-Ireland economy will be launched today by the SDLP in Dublin.
The blueprint is the product of several meetings on economic matters with the Government since the publication of the party's "North South Makes Sense" framework in 2005.
SDLP party leader and Foyle MP Mark Durkan and Taoiseach Bertie Ahern will attend today's launch.
SDLP representative Dominic Bradley said: "Co-operation is not just about public-sector infrastructural investment.
"The underlying principle of mutual benefit to be gained by both parts of Ireland working together applies equally to the private sector, and that is why we are now reaching out to the business community on both sides of the Border."
The SDLP is also due to hold political talks with party leaders in Leinster House.
