TL;DR Summary

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak canceled a meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, leading to a diplomatic dispute between the two countries. Greece accused the UK of avoiding discussions on the contested Parthenon Marbles, which Greece has long demanded to be returned from the British Museum. Mitsotakis expressed his displeasure at the cancellation and declined an alternative meeting with British Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden. The Parthenon Marbles, taken by British diplomat Lord Elgin in the 19th century, have been displayed in the British Museum for over 200 years.
