Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what diplomatic steps the Government is taking (a) bilaterally and (b) with its UN partners to help tackle conflict in Myanmar.

The UK is monitoring the conflict in Myanmar closely. We have provided £120 million of life saving assistance in Myanmar, including to those displaced by the conflict. We work closely with the US, Canada and the EU to target sanctions on the military regime. In December 2022, the UK led the first ever UN Security Council Resolution on Myanmar, which demanded an end to violence and immediate implementation of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Five Point Consensus. Since then the UK has continued to call for an end to the crisis including through the UN Human Rights Council and UN Security Council.
