It is recognised across HMG that, for example, the exchange of gifts and hospitality have long been an important part of building relations, particularly overseas.

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government whether they are taking any steps, in collaboration with international partners, to encourage peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.

uin	HL3715
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2024 answer text <p>We support a just and sustainable peace which restores Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, underpinned by the UN Charter. President Zelenskyy has clearly indicated Ukraine's desire for peace in his Peace Formula, which reflects principles supported by 141 countries in the UN General Assembly. The UK has supported Ukraine to convene senior officials from G7 and several G20 countries, to discuss principles for a just peace. We welcome the planned conference in Switzerland to discuss these principles further. By contrast, Russia's continued actions on the battlefield demonstrate that President Putin has no meaningful interest in a just peace. It will be for Ukraine to determine its position in any negotiations, just as it is for Ukraine to decide its democratic future and long-term security arrangements. The quickest path to peace would be for President Putin to withdraw all Russian troops illegally present in Ukraine and end its aggression against its neighbour.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 30/04/2024 14:25:45 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
