answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2023 answer text <p>When Minister Rutley visited Guatemala in April, he spoke with representatives from civil society groups about the need to protect space for environmental and human rights defenders including those from indigenous communities. These concerns are regularly reflected in bilateral discussions we have with the Guatemalan Government and in international fora, including in the UK's response to the 42nd Universal Periodic Review of Human Rights in Guatemala. We also regularly raise the issue of human rights defenders and land defenders in Guatemala via our Embassy in Guatemala City, working in conjunction with other international partners, with the aim of promoting full respect for human rights for all Guatemalans. FCDO Officials attended a roundtable with the Independent Delegation of International Lawyers to Guatemala on 18 October in order to discuss the findings of their report and consider their recommendations.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon grouped question UIN HL550 question first answered 07/12/2023 15:56:35 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>​The British Government congratulates President Kais Saied on his inauguration on 24 October. We remain in close touch with the Tunisian authorities and look forward to working with the new Government when it is formed. While British Ministers have not yet met President Saied, UK officials attended his inauguration. The Minister for the Middle East and North Africa, Dr Murrison, held comprehensive talks with the then Tunisian Secretary of State to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Sabri Bachtobji, at the UK-Tunisia Bilateral Forum in London on 12 September. Mr Bachtobji was appointed Acting Foreign Minister on 29 October. The signing of the UK-Tunisia Association Agreement on 4 October, and the UK-Tunisia Investment Forum on 22 October are other recent highlights of our growing bilateral co-operation and, along with UK programming worth over £12 million in 2019-2020, testament to our continuing support for Tunisia’s political and economic development.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/11/2019 16:43:54 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
