Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what benchmarks they have set for their forthcoming strategic dialogue with the Republic of Sudan.

The biannual UK-Sudan Strategic Dialogue provides an important platform for the UK and Sudan to raise issues of concern and discuss areas where we can work together. The Dialogue provides a framework for us to deliver on bilateral priorities, including the peace process, human rights, development, migration, trade, and counter-terrorism. Reviewing progress on these issues will form a central part of the next round of the Strategic Dialogue, scheduled to take place in October.
