The UK believes there is an opportunity right now to tackle the causes of instability in Somalia. We need an international approach focused on actions which support and build on the progress being made on the ground.
For the mentioned reasons, UK have invited key international partners to a Conference in London on 23 February, hosted by the British Prime Minister. It will discuss how the international community might support progress towards peace and stability in Somalia more effectively, under the leadership of both African partners and the UN.
Since announcing the Conference, UK have held a number of consultations. The emerging messages and some initial conclusions are mentioned the attached document. It also mentioned a selection of short non-papers which offer some ideas on a range of issues. UK would welcome further ideas or suggestions.
In order to discuss these ideas and listen to any reactions or questions you might have about the Conference or these emerging conclusions, UK cordially invite you or your representative to a meeting on Tuesday 10 January 2012 at 1030 at the Serena Hotel.
please let Julie Palmer (Julie.Palmer@fco.gov.uk; 020 2844258) know if you or a representative will be able to participate.
