Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the government of South Sudan concerning a potential resolution of conflict in Sudan.

The UK is working with a wide range of partners, including the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, the African Union and the UN, as well regional partners, such as South Sudan and the Gulf, to support a resolution of conflict in Sudan. In September 2023, the Deputy Foreign Secretary met President Salva Kiir to discuss progress on South Sudan's Peace Agreement and efforts to secure peace in Sudan. The UK supports South Sudan's regional peace and mediation efforts and welcomes South Sudan's response to refugees and returnees fleeing the violence in Sudan.
