The Press and Public Affairs section is the public face of the Embassy.  Our aim is to project a positive image of Britain and British policies in the UAE. We provide a wide variety of information services to the general public, schools, universities, government departments and the media.  These services include answering questions about Britain, briefing the media and other opinion formers on British policy, and arranging publicity for British events and products.  We also organise press conferences for visiting VIPs, trade missions, or other events, and give presentations and interviews on British policy, the work of the Embassy, or any event in which the Embassy is involved. The Press and Public Affairs team maintains this website and updates it on a regular basis.  If you have any comments, suggestions or questions, please let us know by using the feedback link.
