Given the political, regional security and humanitarian focus of the Conference, and against tight space restrictions, we invited countries and multilateral organisations to take part who are active across the range of areas that the Conference discussed: Political Process, Security, Counter-terrorism, Piracy, Local Stability, Humanitarian and International Co-ordination. NATO were not represented at the 23 February London Conference on Somalia, though a number of Alliance members were present.
