answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2022 answer text <p>The UK invited Foreign Ministers from nearly 100 countries to the PSVI Conference. To address conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV), we need to involve a range of states, to share experiences and we put survivor voices front and centre. All survivors were provided with full support, including wellbeing and psychological support, which was available throughout the conference. I also met personally with all survivors, and also directly with FM Gërvalla-Schwarz from Kosovo. They recognised the important role the UK was playing in providing a bridge for survivors to directly address issues with countries with whom they had endured serious conflict in the past.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 19/12/2022 17:29:47 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

In his interventions, the Foreign Secretary also underlined our enduring support for the OSCE as a forum for dialogue, transparency, and confidence-building. We will continue, with like-minded partners, to work closely with the OSCE's leadership to hold Russia to account for its actions, support vulnerable countries in Russia's neighbourhood, and defend the OSCE's unique role in Euro-Atlantic security.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 19/12/2022 12:42:47 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
