Middle East: Geopolitics
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of the joint trilateral statement issued by the governments of China, Saudi Arabia and Iran, issued on 10 March, on geopolitics in the Middle East region.
- Answer
-
The FCDO welcomes the agreement if it leads to a de-escalation of tension and a reduction of Iran's destabilising activity in the region. The long-term stability of the Gulf is important to everyone. The onus is on Iran to honour its commitment in the joint trilateral statement to respect the principles of sovereignty and non-interference.
