UAE leaders congratulate Liz Truss on becoming UK PM

President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has sent a message of congratulations to Liz Truss on her appointment as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, also dispatched a similar message to Prime Minister Truss.

Liz Truss was named Britain's next prime minister on Monday, winning a leadership race for the governing Conservative party at a time when the country faces a cost of living crisis, industrial unrest and a recession.

She takes over from Boris Johnson, who was forced to announce his resignation in July after months of scandal saw support for his administration drain away.
