JEDDAH: Theresa May welcomed the appointment of Prince Mohammed bin Salman as crown prince and deputy prime minister of Saudi Arabia
“I am pleased to welcome the appointment of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman as the Crown Prince and Deputy Prime Minister of ��������,” May said in a statement Wednesday.
The relationship between �������� and the United Kingdom of England, she added, is strong and historic “and we continue to work closely together in a range of areas.”
The Saudi-UK security and intelligence cooperation, according to May, is vital as they tackle the shared threat of terrorism. “Our growing trade and investment ties are important for the prosperity of all our citizens.”
She affirmed that Britain remains a “firm supporter of ��������’s ambitious reform agenda ‘Vision 2030’ which is essential for ��������’s long-term stability and success.”
The prime minister said that she looks forward to working with the new crown prince Mohammed bin Salman to deepen the Saudi-UK close bilateral ties in the years ahead, “building on the constructive meetings we had in �������� earlier this year.”
May also paid tribute to the work of the former crown prince Mohammed bin Naif, “who has played a central role in our counter-terrorism collaboration and been a firm friend of the UK for many years.”
