Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, what recent assessment he has made of the political situation in Uganda.

The UK works with the Government of Uganda on a range of shared interests including trade, development and regional security. Our approach is to support Uganda to become more democratic and prosperous, and to continue to play a positive regional role. We engage as a critical friend, and regularly raise concerns about governance and human rights issues, including LGBT+ rights, with the Ugandan Government.
