Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent representations he has made to countries providing (a) financial support and (b) military equipment to the groups engaged in the conflict in Sudan.

The Foreign Secretary regularly raises the Sudan conflict with his international counterparts. We have regularly condemned, including in the UN Security Council, the flow of external arms into Sudan and urged those who have influence over the parties to use it to bring them to the negotiating table to seek a political resolution to the conflict.
