Lennart Salemink studied political sciences, business and public administration. Within the national presidency of the VVD he is responsible for international affairs. Lennart started his career at the VVD in 2009 where he worked at the party headquarters. Since then worked as a policy advisor on foreign affairs for the VVD in parliament and as chief political advisor to the Minister of Infrastructure and the Environment. For about ten years Mr Salemink has been active as a trainer for VVD international. Mr Salemink was elected as Treasurer of Liberal International in 2022 at the 75th Anniversary Congress in Sofia, Bulgaria. 

His motivation to hold this position for VVD International is his strong belief that liberal parties from all over the world have the moral obligation to inspire and strengthen each other. Our VVD political strategy is inspired by VVD’s international allies, as they hope to bring the same inspiration in return. Besides his position in the VVD presidency, Lennart works as department head at the Ministry of Infrastructure.
