[Tony Blair’s institute has continued
to advise and receive money from the
government of Saudi Arabia since
the murder of Jamal Khashoggi,
it has emerged.

The Sunday Times reported the
former prime minister’s organisation is
involved in a multimillion-pound partnership
helping with a modernisation drive
in the country led by
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The prince, who is the Gulf state’s
de facto leader,
was accused of ordering the
assassination of dissident Washington Post
journalist Khashoggi at the
Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018.

He has denied any involvement and
blamed rogue agents.]


[A statement from Blair’s office
said that he “took the view then and
is strongly of the view now that the
programme of social and economic change
under way in Saudi Arabia is of immense
and positive importance to the region
and the world … the relationship with
Saudi Arabia is of critical strategic importance
to the west, and that therefore staying
engaged there is justified”.]
