star this property answer text <p>The British High Commission in New Delhi and our network of Deputy High Commissions across India regularly meet religious representatives and have run projects promoting minority rights. Over the last three years, they have worked with local Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to bring together young people of diverse faith backgrounds to work together on social action projects in their local communities. This year, the British High Commission supported an interfaith leadership programme for a cohort of emerging Indian faith leaders, including Christians, creating an opportunity to exchange expertise on leading modern, inclusive faith communities, and promoting values of tolerance and multi-culturalism. We also raise issues relevant to religious minorities in our engagement with Union and State authorities. On 15 March, while visiting India, Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon, Minister for South Asia, discussed the situation for Christians with India's then-Minister of State for Home Affairs, Kishan Reddy.</p>

We are supporting the ICJ process which is putting pressure on Myanmar to protect the Rohingya. We provided the funding to enable Rohingya refugees to attend the hearings in December 2019. We are monitoring developments closely. We will keep under review the question of a UK intervention once the Court has ruled on whether the case can proceed.</p><p>The Rohingya crisis remains a UK priority.
