BRUSSELS – Boris Johnson, the British Prime Minister, emphasized Wednesday the importance of countries cooperating “to improve energy security and reduce reliance on Russian hydrocarbons.”

Johnson expresses “the UK’s view that we are facing a fundamentally changed world order as a result of (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine” during a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh.

Johnson and bin Salman “agreed to collaborate to maintain energy market stability and accelerate the transition to renewable and clean energy,” according to a statement from the UK government.

“They also committed to enhancing cooperation in defense, security, trade, and culture, welcoming a new UK-Saudi Strategic Partnership Agreement and a significant investment in green aviation fuel in Teesside announced today by the alfanar group,” it added.

“While praising progress toward Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, including on women’s empowerment and employment, the British premier expressed concern about ongoing human rights issues.”

The leaders also discussed critical regional issues, according to the statement.

Johnson was in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia for a one-day visit as part of efforts to reduce reliance on Russian energy resources.

The UK and its Western allies have pledged to reduce their reliance on Russian fossil fuels in the aftermath of Russia’s “brutal and unjustified” attack on Ukraine.

The war in Ukraine has continued for three weeks, and Western countries have imposed unprecedented sanctions on Russia’s economy thus far.

Prior to his trip, Johnson stated that the world needed to “avoid being blackmailed by Putin in the manner in which so many Western countries have been tragically blackmailed.”
