The city association of the CDU-Kaarst-Büttgen cordially invites all citizens to this year's New Year's reception. On Sunday 21 January from 11 a.m., visitors can welcome the New Year together with the CDU at the Mercure Hotel in Kaarst.
We have managed to secure an exceptional guest speaker for this special occasion: Ambassador Christoph Heusgen has not only chaired the Munich Security Conference since 2022, but has also advised Chancellor Merkel on foreign and security policy issues since 2005. Before taking over as Chair of the MSC, Ambassador Heusgen was Permanent Representative of the Federal Republic of Germany to the United Nations in New York from 2017 to 2021. At the New Year's reception, he will give a lecture on the turning point in Germany.
In these very difficult times, it is also important for us to set an example for peace and international understanding. For this reason, we have engaged a Russian-Ukrainian music duo for the cultural part of the morning. Dmitry Lavrov and Natalya Vetrova will perform a mix of classical music and Russian and Ukrainian folk songs. We look forward to welcoming many visitors! CDU Kaarst-Büttgen
