We are working closely with partners, including the EU and UN, to consider a range of options to promote an end to the crisis in Venezuela. The most recent discussion at EU level took place on 12 September. The Lima Group of Foreign Ministers met in the margins of the UN General Assembly on 20 September and will re-convene in Canada in October. Any solution to the current crisis in Venezuela must come from the region. The Minister for Europe and the Americas is working closely with Peru's Foreign Minister, Ricardo Luna, in support of Peru's regional leadership. We will continue to work with partners to consider a wide range of options to prevent further violence and alleviate the suffering of ordinary Venezuelans.<\/p>

In addition to providing humanitarian assistance in the region, we are working closely with the Overseas Territories to support recovery and reconstruction, £62 million has been committed to date. Establishing an accurate number of those missing in affected Overseas Territories is difficult while relief and reconstruction is continuing, however we believe the number is low.<\/p>
