Oral answer to question provided on Tuesday, 26 June 2007 in the House of Lords, by Lord Triesman (Labour).


China: Darfur

Answer

My Lords, the Chinese have supported the concept of the hybrid force for some time and did not vary that position yesterday. I do not believe that as we go into the future they will vary it.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Tuesday, 26 June 2007 by Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat).

Question
My Lords, the Minister mentioned yesterday’s high-level meeting in Paris. Did the Chinese delegation there make any statement in support of the hybrid force? Does he think that in view of the slight change in China’s attitude we can rely on Beijing in future to help us to sort out any difficulties that may arise with the deployment?
