Sortu's European Delegate Igor Zulaika will attend a conference hosted by Sinn Fein next Saturday 19 in London.

The conference "Towards a new Ireland: a new phase of the peace process" is held on the 15h anniversary of th Good Friday Agreement. According to the organizers: these fifteen years have seen a positive transformation in Ireland and in relations between Britain and Ireland.

While immense progress has been made, the organisers of the London event have stressed that "this process has to continue to move forward in its current phase and set out a new chapter to ensure equality and change are achieved." The Agreement enshrines the principle of self-determination, including the provision of a mechanism for constitutional change.

The conference on 19 October in London will see a range of speakers, with representatives from across the political spectrum. (The programme is available at http://www.londonirishunity.com/)

Two of the drivers of the Aiete Declaration will take the floor on the event, on the second anniversary of the Declaration, Gerry Adams TD, President of Sinn Fein and Mr Jonathan Powell,who was head of cabinet for Tony Blair.

For Sortu this conference is a great opportunity to support the Irish Peace Process and to listen to direct participants' reflections on the outstanding issues 15 years after the agreement.
