I am writing to ask you to clarify your request. 
Clarity on Q,s 2 and 3 required.

of conduct, guideline or another formal agreement? If so, please provide
access to this document.

2. Could you please confirm whether the university management conducts
risk assessments for academic freedom prior to entering into institutional
relationships with higher education institutions in authoritarian states?
This will be a yes or no response from the department
 
2.a If so, please provide access to this document. This part is requesting
access to this document, what document does it mean?

education institutions? Could you provide a definition of institutional
