Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether the Government has plans to send a UK delegation to the G20 to be held in Saudia Arabia following human rights abuses in that country.

The UK and Saudi Arabia have a longstanding bilateral relationship, based on trade; investment; defence; security; energy; and shared concerns on regional issues. The Foreign Secretary raised his concerns during his visit to Saudi Arabia on 4 and 5 March. Saudi Arabia's G20 Presidency is an opportunity to address issues of global importance, notably Covid-19. We hope that the international platform provided by the G20 Presidency encourages continued progress on domestic reforms.
