UK officials have raised issues of Freedom of Religion or Belief with senior Mauritanian officials on several occasions, most recently on 20th of June. Following the opening of our Embassy in Nouakchott in May, I plan to visit Mauritania later this year for discussions on a range of subjects of importance to the UK​.
