Mr Tobias Ellwood

A stable and secure Middle East is a key UK priority. We are working with the international community to support those tackling short term conflict and promoting longer-term reform in the region. We believe that regional security initiatives can have an important role to play too.

We are not aware of any specific, new initiatives to create an independent regional centre for security dialogue in the Middle East, at the current time.
