<p>The UK has not made any representations to the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile
(FIA) about plans for a Formula One race in Saudi Arabia, as this is a matter between
the FIA and the Saudi Arabian Government. The UK and Saudi Arabia have a longstanding
bilateral relationship, based on a number of pillars including trade; investment;
defence; security; energy; and shared concerns about regional issues. No aspect of
our relationship with Saudi Arabia prevents us from speaking frankly about human rights.
We raise concerns regularly with the Saudi Arabian authorities through Ministerial
and diplomatic channels, including our Ambassador and our Embassy in Riyadh.</p>
