Commons ChamberAs we have made clear, recognition of a Palestinian state cannot come at the beginning of the process, but it does not have to come at the end.
Could the Deputy Foreign Secretary update us on the state of our relations with Djibouti, and his assessment of the impact of the UK recognising the memorandum of understanding between Ethiopia and Somalia on the development of the port of Berbera? Does he have any plans to visit Djibouti? If so, may I give him some advice?
