"UK-Greece Meeting Cancelled Amid Parthenon Marbles Dispute"

TL;DR Summary
Talks between UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis were derailed after Sunak abruptly cancelled their meeting, which was supposed to address the long-standing dispute over the Elgin Marbles. Greece wants Britain to return the 2,500-year-old sculptures taken from the Parthenon temple, while Britain denies they were stolen. Mitsotakis expressed displeasure at the cancellation, accusing Sunak of avoiding the issue. The British government maintains ownership of the marbles and has no plans to change its approach, while Greece has been pushing for a loan arrangement for their return.
