South China Sea
Friday 9th December 2016

Asked by: John Glen (Conservative - Salisbury)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his US counterparts on the security situation in the South China Sea.

Answered by Lord Sharma

The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Mr Boris Johnson), most recently discussed the security situation in the South China Sea with his US counterpart at a G7 Foreign Ministers' meeting in September. A joint statement at this meeting underlined G7 opposition to unilateral actions that raise tensions in the South China Sea, and urged all parties to comply with their obligations under international law and refrain from such actions. The UK has a clear interest in regional peace and stability and respect for freedom of navigation and overflight.
