<p>The UK is committed to promoting and defending Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB),
as demonstrated by our hosting the 'International Ministerial Conference on Freedom
of Religion or Belief' in July 2022. We also work through the UN to promote and protect
these rights. The UK Embassy in Laos raises concerns about limitations on freedom
of expression and other human rights issues, including freedom of religion, on a regular
basis, both publicly and in private. We do this bilaterally with the Government of
Laos as well as at the UN Human Rights Council. I visited Laos in September 2023 and
raised our concern over particular human rights cases with Laos Ministers.</p>
