Latin America

Mr. Blizzard
23. To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans she has for the development of UK relations with Latin America.

Mr. Hoon
The UK has important interests in Latin America. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office, working closely with other Government Departments, is actively engaged, politically and through our supporting programmes, in delivering against the full range of the Government’s international priorities in the region. We intend to maintain and develop this active and focused engagement.
