<p>Further to my written answer in HL4652, we continue to urge both sides to fully
engage in the African Union-led peace process, including by reaching lasting agreements
on a full cessation of hostilities and unrestricted humanitarian access. Most recently,
during the visit of the UK Special Representative for Sudan and South Sudan to Khartoum,
the Sudanese Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour on 24 January reconfirmed the government
of Sudan's commitment to an international proposal for improving humanitarian access
to the Two Areas of Blue Nile and South Kordofan. We continue to urge the Sudan People's
Liberation Movement-North to agree to these proposals to guarantee medical support
directly to the areas under their control as a way to unblock a broader agreement
on longer term access.</p>
