<p>We strongly condemn the recent attacks on the Coptic Christian community in Egypt,
claimed by Daesh. Her Majesty's ambassador to Egypt, John Casson, met Pope Tawadros
II on 22 April and offered his condolences. I regularly meet Bishop Angaelos, Bishop
of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the UK, and passed on my sincere condolences following
the abhorrent recent attacks. The British Government is committed to working with
international partners, including Egypt, to strengthen the protection of freedom of
religion or belief.</p>
