Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department plans to respond formally to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Summit 2023; and what progress his Department has made on achieving the goals.

The UK is committed to working to deliver the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as set out in the International Development Strategy (IDS) and Integrated Review (IR23). The UN's SDG Summit in September will mark the mid-way point to 2030. We will work closely with our partners to accelerate progress towards the SDGs at this critical juncture and ensure the SDG Summit delivers for all, including the poorest and most vulnerable.
