"Sunak Cancels Meeting with Greek PM Amid Parthenon Marbles Dispute"

TL;DR Summary
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak canceled a meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis after Mitsotakis called for the return of the Parthenon marbles, also known as the Elgin Marbles, to Athens. Sunak has repeatedly stated that he would not change British law to allow the sculptures to leave the British Museum permanently. The cancellation comes at a time when Sunak is dealing with a stagnant economy and a rift in his Conservative Party over immigration policy. Greece's foreign minister called the disagreement over the sculptures' future an illegitimate reason to cancel a high-level meeting.
