answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2019 answer text <p>A successful peace process is a vital part of the democratic transition in Burma. The main vehicle for the UK's support to the peace process, the Joint Peace Fund, has undergone a thorough independent assessment of progress and challenges. Our peace building programme in Burma is reviewed annually. The UK will continue our support for the peace process through technical advice and expertise. We have been clear that Burmese military conduct in states such as Shan, Kachin and in the south-east is under international scrutiny, as in Rakhine.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 05/03/2019 17:06:20 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2019 answer text <p>I set out UK concerns on the recent increase in violence in Rakhine State between the Burmese military and the Arakan Army in a statement on 18 January. We regularly raise concerns with the Burmese regime about conflicts in Burma, calling on all parties to cease fighting and allow access for humanitarian aid. International attention and diplomatic initiatives can play a role in limiting violence and promoting responsible conduct but an agreed peace settlement is the best way to bring about a sustainable end to violence. The UK will continue to support the peace process in Burma.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 05/03/2019 17:07:54 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
