Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to promote peace-building, inclusive local governance and religious freedom across Myanmar’s diverse ethnic and religious landscape.

The UK supports the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and UN Special Envoys' efforts to seek stability and peace in Myanmar, including for ethnic and religious minorities. The Minister for Indo-Pacific met the UN Special Envoy, Julie Bishop, on 13 June and reiterated our support for the Myanmar people, including Rohingya.

We continue to discuss the political and humanitarian situation in Myanmar with a range of opposition stakeholders, including the National Unity Government (NUG) and a number of Ethnic Resistance Organisations (ERO).

Furthermore, UK Aid continue to support the role of civil society to promote peace and stability in Myanmar.
