<p>I [Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon, Minister of State for the Middle East, North
Africa, South Asia and United Nations], represented the UK at the EU Indo-Pacific
Forum in Stockholm on 13 May. I had substantive dialogue with many EU and Indo-Pacific
Ministers during the meeting, as well as bilaterals with Indian External Affairs Minister
Jaishankar, Indonesian Foreign Minister Marsudi, Pakistan's Minister of State for
Foreign Affairs Rabbani Khar, Bangladesh's Minister of Information, Mahmud and Sweden's
Foreign Minister Billström. Discussions at the Forum were useful and demonstrated
strong collective commitment to promoting peace and security, stability and shared
prosperity across the region. The UK will continue engaging with our EU and Indo-Pacific
partners in multiple formats to support a free and open Indo-Pacific.</p>
