The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom’s Dakar office had the pleasure of hosting Cellou Dalein Diallo, the president of the UFDG party and former Prime Minister of Guinea. Cellou Dalein Diallo, who is also the vice president of the Liberal International, was invited to the graduation ceremony for the first class of the Liberal Academy of Political Training (ALFP), an initiative of FNF in Dakar. “I was proud, as Vice-President of the Liberal International, to attend this ceremony first because of the importance that the UFDG gives to the training of young people.
