To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will propose co-hosting with the government of South Korea an international summit on human rights on the Korean peninsula. [HL1947]

We have no plans to co-host with the Government of South Korea a summit on human rights in the Korean peninsula. We regularly participate in international meetings on human rights. Last week, our embassy in Seoul participated at the International Donor Conference on North Korea at which human rights were discussed. Chatham House is proposing to hold a human security conference in North Korea later this year which we will attend and support.
