To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions he has had with his Egyptian counterpart on the Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed between north and south Sudan in 2005. (275319)

My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary has not had recent discussions with his Egyptian counterpart on the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). My noble Friend the Minister for Africa, Asia and the UN, Lord Malloch-Brown, discussed these issues with the Egyptian ambassador in London on 28 April 2009. There are ongoing discussions at official level on the CPA and other matters relating to Sudan.
