The Prime Minister

FCO officials have been in regular contact with the Government of Sudan following our withdrawal from Khartoum last August.

We continue to encourage Sudan to become a party to the Chemical Weapons Convention which prohibits the acquisition, development, production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons and is supported by a verifications regime consisting of data declarations and on-site inspections.
