We stopped direct government-to-government aid to the Chinese Government in 2011. Total FCDO Official Development Assistance (ODA) China spend between 2018-2022 was £103.5 million, including ODA spend such as British Council activity. In a Written Ministerial Statement (WMS) in April 2021, the FCDO committed to cut ODA funded programmes in China by 95 per cent from the 2021-22 financial year, which it has delivered. All new ODA programme funding has been limited to supporting our open societies and human rights objectives in China. The projects we fund using ODA typically aim to support those in China who work to improve human rights.

We are working with allies and partners to safeguard maritime security and navigational rights and freedoms in the Red Sea. The UK takes threats to shipping vessels in the Red Sea extremely seriously.<\/p>

Britain joined the US and others in Operation Prosperity Guardian - an international naval force to deter mounting Houthi attacks on commercial shipping. This coalition bolsters international efforts to keep open one of the world's most important waterways. Royal Navy Destroyer, HMS Diamond, is a part of this coalition and has already been involved in action to protect shipping from Houthi threats on 16 December and 9 January. HMS Diamond was first targeted by a Houthi attack on 9 January.<\/p>

The Foreign Secretary has discussed developments in the Red Sea with key interlocutors from Saudi Arabia (14 December), UAE (16 December & 12 January), and Oman on the weekend (31 December).

The UN-brokered truce in April 2022, which formally expired in October 2022, has continued to de facto hold. The de facto truce is the most significant opportunity for peace in Yemen in years.<\/p>

We welcome the conclusion of the Saudi-Houthi talks and the formal launch of the UN-led Roadmap by the UN Special Envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, on 23 December 2023. This transition to an intra-Yemeni peace process under UN auspices has been reached following years of HMG's diplomatic support.

Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies will make it easier, quicker, and cheaper for malign actors to spread false information. The UK is engaging internationally to manage risks on AI-generated foreign information manipulation and interference, including disinformation. The FCDO is growing its capability to assess and respond to the full range of information threats by hostile actors, working closely with international partners. The UK is an international leader in AI, and convened the first global AI Safety Summit where, amongst other risks, participants noted AI's ability to amplify risks such as disinformation and misinformation as a concern to be urgently addressed.
