“My Office seeks to engage on [the Uyghur] issue with [China] for full access to carry out an independent assessment of the continuing reports pointing to wide patterns of enforced disappearances and arbitrary detentions, particularly in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. This area is at the centre of the Belt and Road Initiative […] I am convinced that stability and security in this region can be facilitated by policies which demonstrate the authorities’ respect of all people’s rights.”
