"Sunak's Cancelled Meeting with Greek PM Fuels Elgin Marbles Row"

TL;DR Summary
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis criticized British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for canceling their scheduled meeting, escalating the long-standing dispute over the return of the Parthenon Marbles. The marbles were taken from Athens by Lord Elgin in the 19th century and have been housed in the British Museum since then. Talks between the museum and Greek officials last year discussed a potential loan arrangement, but Sunak ruled out any permanent return. Mitsotakis recently met with UK Labour Party leader Keir Starmer to discuss the issue, expressing frustration with the lack of progress.
