Sudan remains a Foreign and Commonwealth Office Human Rights Priority Country and improving human rights is a key objective in our engagement with the Government of Sudan. During his meeting with Sudanese Foreign Minister Ghandour on 12 December, the Foreign Secretary raised our concerns on human rights, as well as highlighting the political and economic reforms the Government of Sudan needs to undertake. In a separate meeting, I also highlighted the need for Sudan to make improvements on human rights and expressed the UK's desire to maintain dialogue on human rights issues with the Government of Sudan.​
