At the African Union (AU) summit on 27-28 January my noble Friend Baroness Kinnock discussed Sudan with US Special Envoy Scott Gration and senior State and National Security Council officials, the Chinese Vice Foreign Minister and the AU Peace and Security Commissioner. We will continue to engage with them and with others both in the region and internationally.
