Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions he has had with his international counterparts on strengthening global food security.

Delivering development through partnerships is core to the government's mission to help create a world free from poverty on a liveable planet.

At the G20 Development Ministers Meeting, I endorsed the Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty to promote partnerships and long-term solutions to tackling hunger and poverty and unlock much-needed finance. At the Hamburg Sustainability Conference, I engaged in discussions on financing development and reforming the global financial system for greater progress on the Sustainable Development Goals. This is alongside regular engagement with key international partners on food, agriculture and finance through the UK's bilateral and multilateral work.
