Starmer's trip to Paris comes right after he visited Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Germany, where he also announced plans to draft a joint action plan to fight people smugglers and to tackle illegal migration.
"They agreed that it was essential to continue supporting the Ukrainians for as long as necessary to guarantee the defence and security of the country and the continent as a whole," the Élysée Palace said in a statement to Euronews.
Both Macron and Starmer also agreed to deepen bilateral relations, particularly in the fields of defence, security, and energy, without providing more detail.
When it comes to the Middle East, Macron and Starmer "reiterated their call for an immediate ceasefire, which would allow the hostages to be freed and humanitarian aid to enter Gaza," the statement said.
