Sunak scraps meeting with Greek PM in row over Parthenon sculptures
Tuesday, 28 November 2023 A dispute over the ownership of the Parthenon Sculptures escalated, leading to the cancellation of a meeting between the leaders of Britain and Greece. The British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, cancelled the meeting, citing the agreement that it should not be used to discuss settled matters. However, a Greek government spokesman, Pavlos Marinakis, criticized the cancellation as unprecedented and disrespectful. The dispute revolves around the request for the return of the sculptures.
Greece’s prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has criticised the decision of his British counterpart Rishi Sunak to cancel planned talks at which he had hoped to raise the issue of the Parthenon marbles, as disagreements over the antiquities erupted with renewed vigour.
