The British prime minister has said he hopes to "reset" ties with the European Union. Ursula von der Leyen, the chief of the bloc's executive arm, called for closer UK-EU cooperation.

Sir Keir wants to "establish a more pragmatic and mature relationship with the European Union" ahead of a visit

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is working towards resetting relations with Brussels, focused on deepening cooperation without renegotiating the Brexit deal. He and EU officials agreed to hold regular summits to further this agenda.

Sir Keir Starmer heads to Brussels today promising to “put the Brexit years behind us” as he seeks a closer relationship with the European Union.

Sir Keir Starmer promised a "pragmatic, sensible" approach to the UK-EU relationship in order to "make Brexit work" as he held talks in Brussels.

Securing a closer trading relationship with the European Union will not be easy but it is possible, Sir Keir Starmer said. The Prime Minister will head to Brussels next week for talks with European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen as he pushes for a “reset” in the UK’s relationship with the EU.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s trip to Brussels on Wednesday will be his first real foray into forging a new post-Brexit relationship with Europe, a process expected to take months, if not years amid competing priorities.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on his first visit to Brussels Wednesday conceded his much-vaunted "reset" with the EU won't be easy, despite improved mood music between the two sides after the rancour of Brexit.
