G8: 2007 Summit

My Lords, the noble Baronessmay be aware that there are ongoing discussions with China on Darfur, partly under the UN Security Council umbrella, but also in other fora, includingthe G8.

It has been much slower than I think we would all have wished, but we are beginning to see some little green shoots as a result of the deal a couple of years ago.
