; “The UAE is an important international partner of the United Kingdom. We share a long historical relationship and today are major investors in each other’s countries. Dubai has the largest British population of any city outside the UK.

“Visits such as this help strengthen the personal ties that will ensure a continuing firm relationship into the future. It is also an opportunity to show our solidarity with the people who live here in the light of the recent Houthi terrorist attacks.”

After two years in which delegations were suspended because of COVID-19, we are excited to have this opportunity to show the UAE, its achievements and ambitions, to another group of British lawmakers.
