The UK will support efforts to ensure the audit is robust and meets international standards.<\/p>\n<p>I also welcome the commitment that the eventual winner will establish a government of national unity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\">I congratulate Secretary Kerry for his part in reaching this vital agreement.
