<p>The UK participated in the G20 Summit, where the Prime Minister set out his priorities
of a coordinated global health response to the pandemic, a sustainable economic recovery,
and ambitious action against climate change. As current G20 President, Saudi Arabia
played a vital role in delivering a communique agreement on affordable and equitable
access to COVID-19 vaccines.</p><p>The UK strongly supports the various arms control
instruments to which it is a party, as such we regularly call on all States which
have not yet done so, to accede to these instruments as soon as possible. The UK takes
its export control responsibilities and obligations under the Arms Trade Treaty extremely
seriously. We assess all export licences in accordance with strict licensing criteria.
The UK regularly raises the importance of International Humanitarian Law and of conducting
thorough and conclusive investigations into alleged violations with Saudi Arabia,
including at senior levels.</p>
