Greek Prime Minister Frustrated as Rishi Sunak Cancels Meeting Amid Parthenon Sculptures Dispute

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis expressed annoyance after British Chancellor Rishi Sunak canceled their scheduled meeting over comments made by Mitsotakis regarding the Parthenon Sculptures. Greece has long called for the return of the sculptures, which were removed by Lord Elgin in the 19th century. Mitsotakis had hoped to discuss various topics, including the war in Ukraine and the climate crisis, but the meeting was canceled after the Greek government allegedly broke assurances not to raise the sculpture issue publicly. Greek opposition parties criticized the decision, calling it rude and unacceptable.

"Sunak Cancels Meeting with Greek PM Amid Parthenon Sculptures Row"

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis accused British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of canceling a scheduled meeting amid a diplomatic dispute over the Parthenon Sculptures. Greece has been requesting the permanent return of the 2,500-year-old sculptures, which were removed by British diplomat Lord Elgin in the 19th century. Mitsotakis expressed frustration over the cancellation and emphasized Greece's position on the issue. The British government has consistently refused to return the sculptures, and a spokesperson for Sunak stated that there were no plans to do so. The meeting was deemed unsuitable due to the ongoing row, and Deputy British Prime Minister Oliver Dowden was offered as an alternative for discussions.

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

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.
