Starmer at EPG summit: Renewing bonds of trust and friendship

Starmer invited the heads of state and government from up to 47 European countries to the fourth EPG summit meeting at the Blenheim Palace north of Oxford on Thursday. The EPG comprises the 27 EU countries as well as 20 third countries from Albania to Ukraine. For Germany, Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) has traveled to England.
