<p>The British Government has noted the recent report from the China Human Rights
Organisation and continues to be concerned by restrictions on freedom of religion
and belief, including reports of forced conversions, in Burma. The UK, working with
the EU and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, secured a UN Human Rights Council
Resolution on 27 September 2018 that called for the amending or repealing of discriminatory
provisions of the "protection of race and religion laws" in Burma covering
religious conversion, interfaith marriage, monogamy and population control. Our Ambassador
met the Burmese Minister for Religious Affairs on 9 August 2018, and underlined the
importance of interfaith dialogue.</p>
