Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether the Government plans to raise reports of human rights violations in the United Arab Emirates during the 2017 UK-UAE Year of Culture.
Our close relationship with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) allows us to discuss important issues such as Human Rights and where the UK has cause for concern we raise it at official and Ministerial level. The 2017 UK-UAE Year of Culture presents an excellent opportunity for strengthening and developing dialogue between our two countries.
