Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 February 2025

Debate

Government of Syria: Freedom of Expression, Religion and Belief

Contribution

My noble friend makes a good point. We are concerned by increased tensions in northern Syria and the impact that this may have on civilians and stability in the region. Turkey has been playing a critical role there and we have been in regular contact with it, as well as with Syrian democratic forces. Our priority across the board is de-escalation.
