Key points:
- The United Nations annunced its intention to visit the region in February
- The treatment of the minority group in western China has been in the spotlight for many months
- Chiona says the purpose of any visit by the UN should be “to promote interaction and cooperation”
The treatment of the Uyghurs has been in the spotlight over many months.
Several countries, including Australia, have formally expressed concern over the Chinese government’s treatment of the minority group.
