U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May headed to Saudi Arabia with this clear goal: convince Saudi Aramco to pick London for its initial public offering as she seeks to promote Britain as a financial center after Brexit.

May met Energy Minister Khalid Al-Falih, who also heads state-owned Saudi Arabian Oil Co., according to a U.K. government official, who asked not to be named. London Stock Exchange Group Plc Chief Executive Officer Xavier Rolet was also present at the meeting on Tuesday.
