London, October 13 (QNA) - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer affirmed his country's readiness to support the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.

"The UK stands ready to support rebuilding Gaza and we will work with partners to secure a stable future for the region," Starmer posted on "X" platform upon his arrival in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.

The Prime Minister added that he will meet with international leaders at the Sharm el-Sheikh Peace Summit to work on the first decisive step toward peace in the Middle East.

The British Prime Minister's Office announced that the United Kingdom will host a three-day conference on Gaza recovery and reconstruction, bringing together a coalition of business, civil society, and government representatives to coordinate critical planning efforts for the post-war reconstruction of Gaza.

The conference aims to address efforts to support the Palestinian Authority's transformation and reform program, ensuring its ability to lead recovery efforts in Gaza, where reconstruction will be Palestinian-led.

The conference will be attended by a number of international partners, including Germany, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the Palestinian Authority, in addition to the private sector and international financing institutions, such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the World Bank.
