Greece has claimed progress has been made in negotiations to return the Elgin Marbles to Athens ahead of a crunch meeting its Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Sir Keir Starmer at Downing Street.
A Greek government official said, according to The Times: “Progress for the return of the Parthenon marbles has been made by the two sides and that is why Mitsotakis is meeting today with the British prime minister.
“Nothing is in hiding. Nothing is hidden.”
Despite these comments, No 10 has insisted the future of the marbles is not on Sir Keir’s agenda, who is more focused on talking about support for Ukraine and a ceasefire in Gaza.
