Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she had discussions with her Rwandan counterpart on instability in the Democratic Republic of the Congo caused by Rwanda-backed rebels during her visit to that country.

As set out in the relevant country policy and information notes (CPINs), our own comprehensive assessment of Rwanda and their asylum process has found it is a fundamentally safe and secure country with a track record of supporting asylum seekers. Our CPINs are kept under constant review and updated periodically to reflect any significant new issues or evidence and are available on the Gov.UK website.
