The inaugural EU-UK summit in London, attended by Prime Minister Keir Starmer and EU leaders, focused on key post-Brexit issues like border security and joint defence. Significant advancements for British travellers were announced, including expanded use of eGates and the reinstatement of 'pet passports.' A notable highlight was the agreement to facilitate a youth exchange program, enabling young Britons to work and travel more freely across Europe, similar to existing arrangements with Australia and New Zealand, fostering cross-cultural connections.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated, "Tomorrow, we take another step forward, with yet more benefits for the United Kingdom as the result of a strengthened partnership with the European Union."
Ursula von der Leyen explained, "Such a scheme would allow young people to live and study in each other's countries, and make friendships and connections that last a lifetime."
