He also expressed his gratitude to the UK's outgoing prime minister, Rishi Sunak.
I send my warmest congratulations to @Keir_Starmer. As he prepares to enter Downing Street as Prime Minister, I look forward to working together with him and his new government to bring our hostages home, to build a better future for the region, and to deepen the close friendship…
