Question

  • What statements or actions has the Minister or any office they are responsible for, if any, made or intend to make that addresses the situation of Kurdish people in Syria by date and title?

Answered by

Rt Hon Winston Peters

List MP · NZ First · Minister of Foreign Affairs

Answer

New Zealand has continually called for all parties to the Syrian conflict to cease violence and to find a sustainable political solution. This has included Foreign Minister statements as well as statements at the United Nations Human Rights Council, the Organisation for the prohibition of Chemical Weapons, and the International Atomic Energy Agency. It is not possible to compile a comprehensive list of statements in the timeframe required for Written Parliamentary Questions.
