Keir Starmer inaugurated an annual UK-Ireland summit in Cheshire, stressing the importance of rebuilding a strong relationship after Brexit's divisive impact. He emphasized that the world is increasingly uncertain, marking a need for cooperation between the UK and Ireland to tackle economic growth, security, and environmental issues. Taoiseach Micheal Martin acknowledged Starmer as a stabilizing force during these turbulent times. He reaffirmed Ireland's commitment to facilitating better ties with the EU to reduce Brexit-induced trade barriers, indicating a new collaborative era between the two nations.
As we sit here today, I think we would all agree that the world is more uncertain and unstable than it has been for a very long time.
Today's summit really marks a new era in the relationship between the UK and Ireland. I think we've reset our relationship, turned a page on the turbulent years.
There are huge benefits to strengthening our friendship and working together on geopolitical challenges.
Ireland's pledge to help the UK reset its relationship with the wider EU is significant, as reducing trade barriers caused by Brexit is a priority.
