London, Feb 07, 2004 (SL Times) – A member of a British Parliamentarian delegation that recently returned from a visit to Somaliland has disclosed, that he and a number of his colleagues were seriously considering sending an official invitation to Somaliland's President, Mr. Dahir Rayale, to come to London and address the House of Commons.
Mr. Tony Worthington, a member of the ruling Labour party, who secured a 2 hour-long debate on Somaliland in the UK House of Commons last Wednesday, said the invitation was intended to enable Somaliland's president to present his country’s case before British legislators and government officials.
Mr. Worthington, the only British MP to visit Somaliland 2 times since the country withdrew from its 1960 union with former Italian Somalia in 1991, said he hoped Mr. Rayale’s visit would materialize by March (next month).
