As I arrive in Riyadh for the Future Investment Initiative, leading one of the largest UK business delegations to the Gulf in recent years, I’m struck by the extraordinary opportunity before us.
At a time when global uncertainty dominates headlines, the partnership between Britain and Saudi Arabia as well as the wider Gulf nations represents something powerful. A relationship built on mutual respect and shared ambition.
Over £4.1 billion ($5.2 billion) in deals have been secured between the UK and Saudi Arabia in the past 18 months alone, creating more than 4,100 British jobs. This weekend, Riyadh Air's inaugural flight landed in London, symbolizing the deepening ties between our nations. Families in both countries have had their lives improved through international partnership.
My message at the FII and to the great people and businesses in Saudi Arabia is clear: Britain is one of the world’s most attractive destinations for investment. A beacon of stability, offering the regulatory agility and world-class expertise that Gulf investors seek.
