British-Emirates task force 'a vehicle for shared aims' - The National Newspaper

Britain’s relationship with the UAE, according to Alistair Burt, is like a modern twist on a classic car.

“This is like Aston Martin bringing out a new make,” said Mr Burt, the UK’s Middle East minister. “It’s already a great car, but you can always make it even better.

“That’s what we’re doing with the relationship. It goes right across the board. It’s defence, it’s security, it’s trade, it’s shared foreign policy objectives."
