Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to mark International Day of Peace.

Consistent with our approach in the last Parliament, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has no formal plans to mark the UN International Day of Peace. However, we remain strongly committed to conflict prevention, peacekeeping and peace-building, including through the United Kingdom’s role as a member of the UN Security Council.
