Chinese Investment In Darfur
EDM number 1129 in 2007-08, proposed by Diane Abbott on 06/03/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Africa, Asia, Human rights, International trade, Military operations and Oil, petrol and natural gas.
That this House believes that the continuing crisis in Darfur could be eased by a reduction in foreign investment, most notable of which is Chinese investment in the Sudanese oil industry; and notes that oil revenues have been used to fund the continuing conflict and that, given the international focus on China in the run up to the Beijing Olympic Games, the Government should urge China to reduce its investment in Sudan and join the international community in applying pressure to all parties in the conflict for a peaceful settlement.
This motion has been signed by a total of 8 MPs.
