answer text <p>​We are gravely concerned about the risks for all the civilian population in Idlib, regardless of ethnicity or religion, from the threatened military offensive by the Syrian regime and Russia. The UK supports the urgent diplomatic efforts being made by Turkey and the UN. We call on the Syrian regime and its backers, Russia and Iran, to uphold the de-escalation arrangements they have previously agreed, and for all parties to respect international humanitarian law, including protection of all civilians without discrimination. We are providing additional humanitarian assistance and medical support to Idlib. This assistance is distributed on the basis of need, to ensure Syrians are not discriminated against on the grounds of race, religion, or ethnicity.</p> more like this

answer text <p>North Korea's recent actions are reckless and pose an unacceptable threat to the international community. The UK will work with our partners and allies to tackle this threat.</p><p>We welcome China's condemnation of North korea's activity. China has supported all UNSCRs, including the most recent, UNSCR 2371 and UNSCR 2375. As the Foreign Secretary said on 5 September, in a statement to Parliament on the situation on the Korean Peninsula, China has a unique ability to influence the regime. The Foreign Secretary spoke to the Chinese Foreign Minister on 4 August and 1 September to urge China to use its influence on the DPRK regime and implement sanctions fully. The Foreign Secretary had already urged China to support further action at the UN Security Council in a statement on 4 July. As The Minister for Asia and the Pacific, I also discussed North Korea with the Chinese government during my visit to Beijing in the final week of August.</p> more like this
