Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the Answer of 13 April 2026 to Question 123722, what meetings with a) officials and b) ministers are scheduled.

The nature of our dialogue with close overseas partners, both at Ministerial and Official level, is such that not every routine bilateral engagement is scheduled in advance, but we will always of course inform Parliament if there are significant exchanges to report.

The Foreign Secretary and Minister for International Development met a range of South African counterparts when the UK co-hosted the Global Partnerships Conference with South Africa, British International Investment and the Children's Investment Fund Foundation in London from 19-20 May. They discussed our modern partnership based on shared priorities and accountability.
