David Cameron has defended meeting Saudi Arabia’s crown prince Mohammed bin Salman during a business trip in January last year.
The former British prime minister said he and scandal-hit financier Lex Greensill met the leader during a trip to the kingdom while advising on the country’s upcoming chairmanship of the G20.
Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a critic of the prince’s authoritarian consolidation of power, was brutally murdered in early October 2018.
Later that month, former MI6 chief Sir John Sawers said “all the evidence” suggested the journalist had been murdered on the orders of someone close to the crown prince.
