Exclusive: Inside the private Dubai party where Nigel Farage praised UAE minister

'We have a lot to learn from you, my dear sirs,' Farage said to Emirati officials in attendance

Britain's highest-polling party is cultivating increasingly close ties with the United Arab Emirates, a relationship that was on full display during Nigel Farage's visit to the wealthy Gulf state.

The British MP and leader of the Reform Party - known for championing net-zero migration and mass deportations - is currently in Dubai.

On Wednesday evening, he gave a keynote speech at a private party hosted by GB News, the right-wing British television channel for which Farage is a presenter.

Middle East Eye can reveal that Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, the UAE's minister of industry and advanced technology, attended the party, which was held on the rooftop of the high-end Ritz-Carlton hotel and attended by around eighty people.

Farage expressed a great deal of admiration for the UAE, according to sources at the party.
