UK prime minister wants new relationship with EU after Brexit
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer wants to build a ‘more pragmatic and mature relationship’ with the European Union. The 62-year-old Labour leader said so on Tuesday, on the eve of his first visit to Brussels since becoming British prime minister.
The UK left the European Union on 31 January 2020. The brand-new British prime minister now wants to review and build on the relationship with the EU. ‘The UK is undeniably stronger when it works closely with its closest international partners. This has never been more important, with war, conflict and insecurity knocking on Europe's door,’ Starmer said in a statement.
‘We can only meet these challenges if we work together, which is why I am determined to put the Brexit years behind us and build a more pragmatic and mature relationship with the European Union,’ it read. ‘Better cooperation with the EU will deliver the benefits the British people deserve: securing our borders, ensuring our security and boosting economic growth,’ he added. However, the Brexit will not be reversed, it sounds.
