According to 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister, The Rt Hon Sir Keir Starmer KCB KC MP, is visiting the Middle East. He said:
To deliver on my plan for change, we need a strong foundation of security but that cannot just be built at home, it requires us to play our part on the world stage to support stability and protect partners from threats, both now and in the future.
– The Rt Hon Sir Keir Starmer KCB KC MP, Prime Minister of the UK
Also according to Number 10:
It comes after the Minister for the Middle East, Hamish Falconer, travelled to Bahrain at the weekend to agree the UK would join the US-Bahrain Comprehensive Security Integration and Prosperity Agreement (C-SIPA), which aims to build long-term security and stability across the Middle East.
The UK, US and Bahrain hope this move will encourage others, in the region and beyond, to work toward regional stabilisation and integration through shared values, security, and prosperity.
