STORYLINE:
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer held talks with his Spanish counterpart on Thursday, on the sidelines of the European Political Community summit, which is being held in the UK.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez congratulated Starmer on his election as he arrived for the bilateral meeting.
Starmer is welcoming some 45 European heads of government to discuss migration, energy security and the threat from Russia as he seeks to restore relations between his country and its European Union neighbours, four years after the U.K. split from Brussels.
Starmer’s center-left government aims to rebuild ties with the EU strained by years of ill-tempered wrangling over Brexit divorce terms.
A key priority is a new U.K.-EU security pact that Starmer hopes to strike soon.
When Britain agreed earlier this year to hold the one-day summit, Conservative leader Rishi Sunak was prime minister.
His defeat in a July 4 election meant that it was Starmer who welcomed leaders to Blenheim Palace — a key getting-to-know-you moment for the new leader.
Delegates were being treated to full British hospitality — including strawberries with cream and a reception hosted by King Charles III — and to mingle informally in a “leaders’ lounge” and the palace’s ornate gardens.
