Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs written question – answered at on 3 September 2012.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he raised the situation of the Rohingya people with Aung San Suu Kyi (a) on her recent visit to London and (b) subsequently.
Both the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs,
Embassy officials remain in regular contact with Aung San Suu Kyi, and continue to express to her the UK's concern about the situation in Rakhine state. We have repeatedly called for the Burmese Government to put an end to the violence, to allow unhindered humanitarian access to the areas affected, to resolve the issue of nationality and to grant the full respect for human rights to all the people of Burma, notably the Rohingya.
Aung San Suu Kyi was recently named as the chair of a new "Parliamentary Committee on the Rule of Law, Peace and Stability". Its mandate will give her an opportunity to play a more active role in addressing the issues affecting Burma's ethnic communities.
