Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether it is his policy that (a) ministers and (b) officials of his Department meet with General Malek Reuben Riak Rengu, the newly-appointed Deputy Defence Minister of South Sudan.

The UK continues to play a key role in supporting the South Sudan peace process to secure an end to the violence and suffering that has killed hundreds of thousands and forced millions to flee their homes. To that end officials engage with all sides to encourage the effective and accountable implementation of the peace agreement signed on 12 September 2018. ​
