Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what meetings officials in his Department have had with people from Southern Cameroons residing in the UK on the conflict in that country; and if he will meet with delegations from that country in the future.

The UK engages with a wide range of stakeholders on the crisis in the North-West and South-West regions of Cameroon, including NGOs, civil society, religious leaders and academics, as well as national and local government. We believe it is important to hear first-hand accounts from the conflict and to encourage initiatives that aim to reduce human suffering and restore peace. The FCDO regularly considers its approach to stakeholder engagement for Cameroon, and how best to engage with a diverse range of voices, including the Cameroonian diaspora.
