Other speakers who addressed the Forum included; Hon. Stephen Harper the Prime Minister of Canada, Hon. Newt Gingrich the Speaker of the House of Representative of the US among others.

The Discussions aimed at strengthening bonds between FDC, the UK’s Conservative Party, Ghana’s New Patriotic Party, and Jamaica’s Labour Party and creating the annexes for exchange of ideas in pursuit of mutually beneficial programs.
The FDC supreme; Party President and Secretary General are on a Party mobilisation expedition in Europe, ostensibly meeting donor Partners, reviving, strengthening, and opening up of new Diaspora Chapter’s in a bid to grow the influence and the horizon of FDC far and wide.
