Sir Keir Starmer welcomes the fall of Bashar al Assad in Syria and urges Syrians to find a political way forward. He declines to say if the UK will hold talks with the insurgents who have taken control of the country. Sir Keir is visiting the Middle East to discuss economic partnerships with the UAE and KSA, but regional instability is now also a focus. The UK is looking to deepen defence and security ties with both countries. The KSA was previously opposed to the Assad regime and provided support to rebel groups in Syria.
