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 level of Chinese support for the junta in Myanmar.

The UK closely monitors the role of all countries engaging on Myanmar, including regional actors such as China. The UK is committed to ending the crisis in Myanmar. We will continue to raise these issues on the international stage, including at the UN Security Council, where we are the pen-holder. Most recently on 21 December 2022 the UK coordinated a landmark UN Security Council Resolution on Myanmar which urged immediate action by the military regime to fully implement the ASEAN Five Point Consensus.
