<p>The former Foreign Secretary welcomed the November 2022 peace agreement between
the Ethiopian Government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front, when he visited
Ethiopia in December 2022. Since then, the UK has welcomed progress on implementation
such as the handing over of heavy weapons, the establishment of a Tigray Interim Regional
Administration, and the development of a comprehensive transitional justice policy.
We continue to offer the UK's support, including for the successful implementation
of the transitional justice policy. HM Ambassador to Ethiopia last year announced
funding for the African Union's monitoring, verification and compliance mechanism
to support the implementation of the Pretoria peace deal. Ministers and the British
Embassy Addis Ababa continue to raise the importance of this issue with interlocutors
in the Ethiopian Government.</p>
