Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries
Asked by: Jim Allister (Traditional Unionist Voice - North Antrim) Thursday 12th February 2026 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment her Department has made of the status of the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC); and what guidance her Department has issued to devolved institutions on engagement with that organisation.
