<p>We respect the right of Foreign and Commonwealth Heads of Mission serving in the UK to pursue their own State's priorities in the same way that we expect British Heads of Mission overseas to be able to pursue the UK's priorities.</p><p>Promoting and defending human rights is a fundamental part of the UK's foreign policy. Working with other countries, whether overseas or in the UK, is an essential element in meeting our human rights goals. Where the UK has concerns, we will engage both through our network of posts and with their representatives in the UK.</p>
