STORYLINE:
French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the Elysee Palace on Thursday.
During the meeting in Paris, officials said the two leaders were set to discuss the situations in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as the relationship between the European Union and the United Kingdom.
They would also discuss deepening bilateral relations, particularly in security and defence and on irregular migration across the English Channel.
The visits come as Keir Starmer moves ahead with plans for a “reset” of relations with the European Union.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that he welcomed fellow center-left leader Starmer’s desire for a new beginning in relations with the EU following a meeting with the British Prime Minister on Wednesday.
After their talks, the German and British leaders announced a new treaty deepening trade, defence and other ties.
Starmer took office in early July after the previous Conservative government was trounced in an election.
Four years after the U.K. left the EU, he says he wants to rebuild ties strained by years of ill-tempered wrangling over Brexit terms.
