<p>The Government recognises the significant debt vulnerabilities in developing countries
and the critical challenge posed by food insecurity and is working closely with international
partners to address these issues.</p><p> </p><p>The UK, along with the G20 and Paris
Club, agreed a new Common Framework for Debt Treatments beyond the DSSI (CF), which
was designed to help deliver a long-term, sustainable approach for supporting low-income
countries facing debt vulnerabilities. 73 of the most vulnerable countries are eligible
to request a debt treatment under the Framework and our priority is to work with our
G20 partners to implement it quickly for those who have requested it and support new
countries who come forward.</p><p> </p><p>The UK also continues to work with the international
community to directly support countries affected by the food security crisis. For
example, the UK played a leading role in securing the World Bank’s commitment of $12
billion of new projects in the next 15 months to respond to the food security crisis,
on top of $18 billion of existing projects.</p>
