Africa: Foreign Relations

Asked by Wendy MortonConservativeForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 6 February 2025UIN 27275

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has plans to publish the outcomes of his Department's consultation on it's Africa policy.

Answered by Anneliese Dodds

The Foreign Secretary launched a five-month consultation to inform the UK's new approach to the African continent during his visit to Nigeria and South Africa in November. This follows the manifesto commitment to develop a fundamentally transformed partnership that engages with African countries as equals, promotes our economic growth ambitions and supports migration priorities. The new approach will be informed by the consultation and published later this year.
