Foreign and Commonwealth Office written question – answered at on 7 January 2019.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent assessment his Department has made of changes in the level of activity of ISIS in Syria.
As the Foreign Secretary made clear in his Written Ministerial Statement on 19 December, the Global Coalition against Daesh has made huge progress. Since military operations began, the Coalition and its partners in Syria and Iraq have recaptured the vast majority of Daesh territory. Important advances have been made in recent weeks in the last area of eastern Syria which Daesh has occupied.
But much remains to be done in the global campaign against Daesh and we must not lose sight of the threat they pose. Even without territory, Daesh will remain a threat. We remain committed to the Global Coalition and the campaign to deny Daesh territory and ensure its enduring defeat.
