I represented Ireland at the first International Conference of the Friends of the Syrian People held in Tunis on 24 February 2012. I did so at the formal invitation of the Tunisian Government. During my visit to Tunis, I held bilateral meetings with President Marzouki of Tunisia and with the then Egyptian Foreign Minister Amr; I also delivered our national address at the Conference.
