Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what plans the Minister for Africa and the Middle East has to meet with South Sudanese opposition leaders in the UK.

​Engagement with South Sudanese leaders across the political spectrum is a critical component of our efforts to call for an end to the violence and support work towards an inclusive and sustainable resolution to the conflict. The UK Special Envoy to Sudan and South Sudan is tasked with this engagement and regularly meets with South Sudanese opposition leaders, including those in the UK.
