George Osborne stated during his podcast, 'I think the clue is that I'm in New York rather than in London, and of course I would be in London if we were on the verge of reaching an agreement with Greece around the Parthenon sculptures.' He elaborated on the ongoing negotiations, emphasizing the gap between current talks and any potential agreement, indicating significant hurdles still exist in the discussions.
Osborne mentioned, 'We're looking to see if we can come to some arrangement where at some point some of the sculptures are in Athens, where, of course, they were originally sighted. And in return, Greece lends us some of its treasures, and we made a lot of progress.' This reflects a suggestion of cooperation but highlights the complexities and lengthy nature of international cultural negotiations.
