Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what plans she has for engagement in the Vienna conference on Belarus due to take place on 22 November 2021.
The UK has taken a leading role in the international response to the Belarusian political crisis, working closely with partners. We welcome opportunities to maintain the spotlight on the shocking actions of the Belarusian authorities and to keep pressure on Lukashenko to change his behaviour. UK officials are in touch with their Austrian colleagues regarding planning for the upcoming conference on Belarus, including the question of UK participation.
