(View all written questions)I refer the Hon Member to the answer provided on 9 April to Question 43452.
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
As penholder on Myanmar at the UN Security Council, we convened six Council meetings in 2024, including the first open meeting in five years focused on the Rohingya, and we have convened three Council meetings so far in 2025. We also co-sponsored a UN Human Rights Council resolution in April this year, and a UN Third Committee Resolution in November, on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, condemning ongoing violations particularly against ethnic minorities, including Rohingya. We continue to call for the protection of civilians and humanitarian access to Rakhine State, most recently at the UN Third Committee on 19 November.
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
I visited Hong Kong in November for a two-day programme of engagements. I met with stakeholders across the Hong Kong Government, the business community and public to discuss areas of co-operation and challenge on areas of contention.
