The UK's Defence Secretary, John Healey, will visit Saudi Arabia to establish a 'future-facing' defence relationship and discuss regional stability. He will also meet with counterparts in Ankara to discuss military cooperation and procurement opportunities. The UK has sought to restore relations with Saudi Arabia in recent years, despite criticism over the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The visit will provide an opportunity to explore further cooperation, including on the Vision 2030 programme to diversify Saudi Arabia's economy.
