A scene Liberal International

I am currently at the Liberal International Congress in Sofia. Liberal International hold a Congress every eighteen months or so and I am here as one of the British Delegates. The Conference theme is Freedom and Security.

The Congress started yesterday and will end tomorrow afternoon, after which I will attend the ELDR Council meeting. There are over 500 people here from Liberal Parties from around the globe, one of the great things is I have met up with many people who I recently trained in Tanzania.

The Congress is going well and I am part of the team putting together the main Congress resolution. I have also had the opportunity to have a look around Sofia which has some really beautiful churches amongst other delights.
