CMEC supports voter registration

I know from my own visits to the region that nothing beats seeing a country first hand and hearing from the politicians and decision-makers who live there. Recent events, not least in the war in Iraq and the ongoing Middle East Peace Process, mean that Conservatives must seek the widest perspectives in seeking to gain a grasp of Middle Eastern politics

For a full report of the evening please read on here.......

We need to focus much increased attention on the many friendly nations of the Middle East. The combination of events in Iran and Iraq, the difficulties we are experiencing with Syria, and the state of Israeli-Palestinian relations means that we must come to office steeped in knowledge of Middle Eastern affairs.
William Hague, Chatham House, January 2007

Aims

CMEC exists to raise awareness and understanding of the Middle East among Conservative MPs, Peers and in the wider Conservative Party, including among their staff and Prospective Parliamentary candidates.

CMEC is a vehicle by which Conservatives can improve their understanding of the Middle East.
