I met with many organisations and individuals to hear and discuss issues of concern and areas for possible future engagement.

The costs of the visit, including travel, accommodation, meals and translation services amounted to £1460 and were paid by the Hanns Seidel Foundation (a political research foundation of Munich, Germany).
