Syria: Politics and Government
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment she has made of the levels of support for women's rights within the new Syrian government and its administration.
Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer
I refer the Hon Member to my statement on GOV.UK marking the one‑year anniversary of the fall of the Assad regime, available at the link below, which set out the UK's support for the efforts of the new Syrian Government to build a more stable, inclusive, and representative country. I further emphasised the importance of that inclusive political transition during President Al Sharaa's visit to the UK on 31 March, and in my written statement to the House on 29 April (HWCS1552).
