The Foreign Office said in total, 90 heads of state were in attendance, as well as the first ladies of the United States and Ukraine, representing the presidents of their respective countries.

A Foreign Office spokesperson said: "We are supporting the family of a British woman who has died in Laos, and we are in contact with the local authorities."

A Foreign Office spokesperson said the issue is “regularly raised” by ministers.

But Foreign Office minister Stephen Doughty said he was confident the "full detail" of the arrangement would allay concerns.

Prosecutors said Mr Khalife acted recklessly in sending the document - which referenced an apparent meeting between then Foreign Office minister James Cleverly and Iranian deputy foreign minister Ali Bagheri Kani.
