Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Albusaidi met with Sir Lindsay Hoyle, Speaker of the UK House of Commons, in London.

The meeting highlighted the importance of strengthening the longstanding friendship and cooperation between the Sultanate of Oman and the United Kingdom, and fostering closer dialogue and mutual understanding between the two countries to support their partnership and expand cooperation across various fields.

Sayyid Badr also visited the UK Parliament in London at the invitation of Emily Thornberry MP, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee, and representatives of the Council for Arab-British Understanding (CAABU).

The visit took place against the backdrop of longstanding relations between Oman and the United Kingdom, which have enjoying new momentum following the State Visit of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik to the UK last week.

The State Visit has opened up new opportunities to expand cooperation across various fields and strengthen political and institutional dialogue between the two countries.
