FirstpostStarmer will first visit the United Arab Emirates and then travel to Saudi Arabia, before stopping off in Cyprus on his way back to London on Tuesday in a bid ’to build closer ties and drive long term UK growth' Britain’s leader Keir Starmer makes his first trip to the Gulf as prime minister from Sunday, seeking to attract investment from the region’s oil-rich states, Downing Street announced. Starmer will first visit the United Arab Emirates and then travel to Saudi Arabia, before stopping off in Cyprus on his way back to London on Tuesday in a bid “to build closer ties and drive long term UK growth”. Later Monday, Starmer will fly to Saudi Arabia to meet Riyadh’s de facto leader Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who last week hosted French President Emmanuel Macron. Starmer’s trip comes after Britain last week rolled out the diplomatic red carpet for Qatar’s emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani who enjoyed a state visit to the UK.
