The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what plans she has to expand cooperation on delivering global energy security with the United Arab Emirates.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

In April we formally agreed to a framework for enhanced cooperation between the UK and UAE, which covers foreign affairs, defence, energy, trade and investment, artificial intelligence, judicial cooperation, and illicit finance. This framework will provide a strong basis for growing our cooperation across these areas, including on energy security.
