JAKARTA - King Charles III said Britain faces an increasing risk from a "more dangerous and turbulent world", one of which is due to conflicts in the Middle East.
"An increasingly dangerous and turbulent world threatens Great Britain, the conflict in the Middle East is the latest example," Charles said in a State of the Nation address to Parliament, Wednesday, May 13, reported by ANTARA from Anadolu.
He noted that current global turmoil would test the energy, defense, and economic security aspects of Britain.
Charles also stressed that the government would take new steps to improve relations with the European Union.
"My ministers will introduce legislation to take advantage of new trade opportunities, including a bill to strengthen relations with the European Union," he said.
The British government was also said to be seeking to improve relations with European countries "as an important step in strengthening European security".
"This will continue to promote long-term peace in the Middle East and a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine," he said.
Charles added that national energy security requires long-term investment and reform, referring to a number of recent events in the Middle East.
