Andy Burnham

Andy Burnham is the British Prime Minister referenced in the programme of the Sultan of Oman’s state visit in October 2026. After the ceremonial welcome at Windsor — carriage procession, salutes and a state banquet — the Sultan was due to travel to London on Oct. 21 for a meeting with the Prime Minister, the point at which a state visit turns from pageantry to politics and policy.
