British Prime Minister Keir Starmer met on Saturday Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani in Paris, according to a statement by 10 Downing Street.
The two leaders recalled their discussions from December, when Starmer visited Qatar as leader of the opposition.
'The two leaders pledged to build on the existing partnership, particularly in areas of mutual opportunity including education, business and energy,' the statement said.
'The transition to clean energy and the opportunities it brings for jobs, lower bills and energy security was discussed extensively,' it added.
The meeting also addressed the ongoing conflict in Gaza and specifically the rising death toll, and the role of international partners in bringing the conflict that continues since Oct. 7 to an end.
