EU Commissioner for Trade Cecilia Malmstrom and Sajjad met today for one to one discussions on trade and the UK's exit from the EU.

The meeting took place during the European Parliament's Plenary sessions in Strasbourg.

Today Muslims here in the United Kingdom and across the world are celebrating Eid al-Adha.

This Islamic festival commemorates Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son on God's command. This well know story is also found in the Book of Genesis in the Bible as well as the Quran.

Commenting following the recent Cabinet meeting at which Prime Minister Theresa May reaffirmed "Brexit means Brexit" Sajjad has stated:

Leaving the EU is an enormous challenge, the outcome affecting many future generations.

Sajjad and his Conservative European Parliamentary colleagues yesterday met Prime Minister Theresa May at 10 Downing Street for an hour long meeting on the future direction of UK policy in Europe.

Sajjad Karim MEP today called on the European Commission to take action to end the violence in Indian-administered Kashmir.

Sajjad has welcomed Theresa May as the new Leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister

Eid Mubarak to all celebrating from Saj & Team Karim!

The British people have made a choice by a small margin to leave the EU after four decades of overall economic growth within it. There is no certainty to where exactly it leaves us now, with Brexit meaning different things to different people including those who advocated for it.

Last week, Sajjad had two young constituents in his Parliamentary office in Brussels gaining a week’s work experience. Jessica Keenan from Westholme School in Blackburn and George Marston from Nelson and Colne College, which Sajjad attended himself, had both won essay competitions, to gain this unique insight into the European Parliament.

I am supporting Theresa May in her bid to become Leader of the Conservative Party and our next Prime Minister.
