Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis met UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, discussing various issues while reports emerged suggesting upcoming negotiations on the return of the Parthenon Marbles may be nearing a resolution. Despite tensions surrounding the ownership of these artifacts, Starmer's Labour government seems more open to a resolution compared to the previous Conservative administration. Discussions between the British Museum and Greece have reportedly advanced, although legal hurdles remain due to the British Museum Act of 1963. The political ramifications are felt strongly on both sides of the issue as public sentiment gradually favors repatriation.
