Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the recent protests in Peru.

We are closely monitoring political developments and public protests in Peru, and the implications of these developments for our work in the region. We continue to work with the Peruvian Government across a broad range of shared priorities including infrastructure, trade, security, the environment and values. We have made clear the UK's support for the Peruvian Government, the constitutional process and Peruvian democracy.
