Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 32 of the Integrated Review, Defence Command Paper, which UK defence programmes will be exported to countries in the Indo-Pacific region.

Exporting world-leading UK expertise through capacity building and training with partner forces is an integral part of our Indo-Pacific engagement. The UK's varied training offer is developed in consultation with our partners and tailored to their specific needs. It will continue to feature Professional Military Education - including Initial Officer Training - to build strong and responsible regional military leadership, as well as subject-specific training on everything from peacekeeping, to preventing sexual violence in conflict, to counter-terrorism and maritime security.
