The Prime Minister set out his ambition to improve the UK’s relationship with the EU and ensure closer co-operation on shared opportunities and wider challenges, which was welcomed by President Metsola.
In that vein, they discussed the dangerous escalation in the Middle East, and agreed that all-out war was in no-one’s interest and must be avoided at all costs.
