<p>We have raised the treatment of the Rohingya in every one of our recent Ministerial
contacts with the Burmese government.</p><p>The former Foreign Secretary, my Right
Hon. Friend the member for Richmond (Yorks) ( Mr Hague), raised the situation in Rakhine
State in a call with his Burmese counterpart, U Wunna Maung Lwin, in April. He called
for the Burmese government to facilitate humanitarian assistance to all communities
in the State. I also raised this issue with Khin Maung Soe, Burmese Minister for Electric
Power in July, as well as with the Burmese Ambassador, whom I summoned in April to
register my concerns. More recently, Minister of State for International Development,
Mr Desmond Swayne, discussed Rakhine with Minister for the President’s Office, U Soe
Thein in August.<br> <br>Our Ambassador and Embassy officials consistently discuss
these concerns with representatives of the Burmese government.</p>
