Irish deputy premier and Northern Ireland Secretary to meet in Dublin
The meeting, their first to be held in person, will feature discussions on political stability in Northern Ireland, the Omagh Inquiry and the UK Government's controversial Legacy Act.
Mr Harris is understood to looking to find common ground on legacy issues, underpinned by the support of those most affected and in compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights.
They will also discuss the announcement that the two governments will appoint an independent expert to carry out a short scoping and engagement exercise to assess whether there is merit in, and support for, a formal process of engagement to bring about paramilitary group transition to disbandment.
Their meeting comes in advance of the Ireland-UK summit in Liverpool next Thursday.
Mr Harris spoke to Mr Benn by phone in January on his first full day as Tanaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs.
During that call he extended an invite to Mr Benn to Dublin and said he looked forward to hosting him in the Irish capital 'at the earliest opportunity'.
Mr Benn last visited Dublin in early December when he met former tanaiste Micheal Martin at the British-Irish intergovernmental conference.
Elsewhere on Wednesday, the Irish Justice Minister said he had 'concerns' about establishing a separate inquiry into the Omagh bombing in the Republic of Ireland.
However, Jim O'Callaghan said the Irish Government would co-operate with the UK inquiry.
'What happened in Omagh was horrific,' he said.
'My department is co-operating with the Omagh Inquiry. We're finalising a memorandum of understanding in respect of ensuring that any relevant evidence that we have in the South is provided to the inquiry.
'I have concerns about establishing a separate inquiry down here. There's one inquiry which has been conducted at present, the Irish Government is going to co-operate with it, we are co-operating with it. I think that's where all our focus should be.'

Protest calls on Central Bank not to renew Israel bonds
Protesters have urged the Central Bank of Ireland not to proceed with the approval for the sale of Israel bonds ahead of an upcoming renewal date. Around 100 demonstrators gathered outside the Central Bank in Dublin on Tuesday to demand an end to the authority's role in approving Israel bonds for sale in the EU, for the Government to include services in the Occupied Territories Bill and to pass that legislation. Advertisement The bank is the designated authority in relation to the sale of Israel bonds in the EU, and has determined the securities meet the standards of the bloc's prospectus regulations. Israel bonds have been advertised as supporting the country's economy and, more recently, websites promoting the securities emphasise their role in supporting Israel's military operations in Gaza. Protesters say the bonds are intended to fund the war in Gaza. Photo: Niall Carson/PA. Protesters and opposition parties have called for legislation that would give Ireland the power to refuse the sale of Israeli 'war bonds' over human rights concerns. They say the bonds are intended to fund the war in Gaza, while Ireland has an obligation under the Genocide Convention to use all means likely to have a deterrent effect on those suspected of preparing genocide. Advertisement The Central Bank has said regulations require it to approve prospectuses that meet standards of completeness, consistency and comprehensibility. The Israel bond prospectus is up for renewal on September 2. The Joint Committee on Finance has recommended that the bank carry out an immediate review before renewing approval of the bonds. Meanwhile, Social Democrats TD Gary Gannon has launched legal proceedings against the Central Bank over claims that investors in Israeli bonds could be legally complicit in genocide in Gaza. Advertisement It is alleged that the Central Bank's failure to ban the marketing, distribution and sale of Israel bonds exposes investors to risks that have not been disclosed to them. Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign chairwoman Zoe Lawlor said: 'The government has to end the direct involvement of the Central Bank in apartheid Israel's sale of genocide-funding bonds. People take part in a protest outside the Central Bank in Dublin (Niall Carson/PA) 'The Central Bank is an organ of this state, and its complicity in genocide makes Ireland complicit.' David Landy of Jews for Palestine, and Academics for Palestine said: 'We are asking the Central Bank to do the absolute minimum required of it under law – to end the sale of Israeli war Bonds, to finally end this direct Irish participation in Israeli genocide.' Advertisement Sinn Fein's foreign affairs spokesman said the Irish government 'must use every lever at its disposal' to show leadership on Gaza. Donnchadh O Laoghaire said: 'Clearly ending the facilitation of Israeli war bonds is one of those.' He added: 'The people of Gaza and of Palestine need us to act.'

Deadly wildfires show Spain must better prepare for climate crises, says Sánchez
The wildfires that have devoured 373,000 hectares of land in Spain and killed four people underscore the need to 'readjust and recalibrate' the country's preparation and response capacities as part of a sustained, non-partisan effort to tackle the impacts of the climate emergency, the prime minister has warned. Speaking during a visit to the south-western region of Extremadura on Tuesday, Pedro Sánchez said that while the record-breaking 16-day heatwave that had fanned the flames was over, 'difficult hours' lay ahead as firefighters continue to battle huge blazes across north-west Spain. The prime minister said the wildfires – and last year's disastrous floods in the eastern region of Valencia – were clear proof that the climate emergency was hitting Spain harder and harder each year. 'We need to prepare and be better equipped with mechanisms and tools so that we can mitigate the effects of these climate emergencies when they happen,' he said. 'The climate emergency is getting worse and more recurrent each year, and the effects of that emergency are accelerating each year.' Sánchez said that when he had spoken to people affected by the fires, they had told him that they expected a sustained and non-ideological approach to the climate emergency that went beyond four-year governmental terms. 'For all the scientific predictions about how the climate emergency would apparently evolve, we're seeing that it's getting worse and hitting much harder each year, particularly across the Iberian peninsula,' he said. 'We need to readjust and recalibrate both our response and prevention capacities.' The prime minister, who has already called for a 'state pact' to address the climate emergency, said he would outline his plan early next month. 'If the climate emergency is getting worse each year, we need to move beyond legislatures and turn climate emergency policies into state policies that bind all our institutions and all those that govern,' he added. The response to the wildfires across many of Spain's self-governing regions has been beset with familiar political arguments. The opposition conservative People's party (PP) has accused Sánchez of touting the pact as a means to deflect criticism of what it claims has been his poor handling of the crisis. Sign up to This is Europe The most pressing stories and debates for Europeans – from identity to economics to the environment after newsletter promotion 'State pacts don't put out the flames, nor do they restore what's been lost,' a PP spokesperson said on Monday. 'People were expecting a lot more than a smokescreen designed to save his reputation after he'd gone missing for a week.' The PP's leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, said the prime minister had ignored repeated calls for more troops to be sent to the hardest-hit areas and had failed to invest sufficiently in prevention. 'Sánchez's duty is to send help, not to skimp and always improvise,' he said on Tuesday.

European leaders mull new sanctions on Putin, UK government says
LONDON, Aug 19 (Reuters) - The British government said on Tuesday European leaders were weighing additional sanctions to ramp up pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin as part of a broader push to put an end to the war in Ukraine. The government said the so-called Coalition of the Willing, which met virtually on Tuesday, had agreed that their planning teams would meet with U.S. counterparts in the coming days to advance plans for security guarantees for Ukraine. They would also discuss plans to "prepare for the deployment of a reassurance force if the hostilities ended", a spokesperson for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office said. They added: "The leaders also discussed how further pressure – including through sanctions – could be placed on Putin until he showed he was ready to take serious action to end his illegal invasion." Ukraine and its European allies have been buoyed after U.S. President Donald Trump told President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Monday that the United States would help guarantee Ukraine's security in any deal to end Russia's war, though the extent of any assistance was not immediately clear.
