British Government officials at all levels regularly engage with EU counterparts in Khartoum and across our diplomatic network to discuss international policy in regard to Sudan. At the Foreign Affairs Council in November, EU members discussed the political, economic, security and humanitarian situation in Sudan and collectively urged the Government to adopt political and economic reforms and guarantee unhindered humanitarian access to those in need of support. Most recently UK engagement with EU counterparts in Khartoum and elsewhere has focused on our shared concern at the Government of Sudan response to protests.
