Keir Starmer has pledged an era of enhanced collaboration with Europe in order for future generations to reflect on "what our continent achieved together." This promise comes ahead of a significant meeting among European leaders.
Starmer highlighted that Europe confronts security issues and migration challenges, suggesting the UK should actively participate in addressing these matters alongside other nations. His comments are his most optimistic views regarding the relationship between the UK and Europe since he opposed Brexit during his campaign for a second referendum.
Prior to an assembly at Blenheim Palace on Thursday, Starmer stated that Russia's conflict continues to have wide-reaching effects across Europe while criminal syndicates exploit innocent people in perilous migrations often resulting in tragedies. He emphasized the need for active involvement rather than passive observation and expressed a desire for future generations to look back with pride at what can be achieved together by Europeans.
"I committed to changing how the UK works with its European counterparts, promoting collective progress on these challenges faced by humanity," Starmer declared as he prepared for the assembly that would commence later in the day.
