The UK is supporting the US and other international partners in pressing the parties to agree to enter ceasefire talks. The Foreign Secretary publicly welcomed the planned talks co-hosted by the US, Saudi Arabia, and Switzerland on 14 August and urged the parties to participate. We continue to use all diplomatic levers, including using our position as penholder on Sudan at the UN Security Council to press the warring parties to attend talks and commit to a permanent ceasefire, safe, unrestricted humanitarian access, and protection of civilians.
