Yvette Cooper

Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 February 2026

Debate

Sudan

Contribution

My hon. Friend is right that this must be treated as an international issue. I have discussed this matter directly at the G7, which includes France, Germany and Italy, and I have spoken about it directly with the French Foreign Minister. We are planning to use the Berlin conference as an opportunity to involve many other European countries and international partners. My hon. Friend will know that the Norwegians have a long history of working in Sudan to support civilians. There has to be strong engagement from every continent.
