Emmanuel Macron – 2026 Comments on Keir Starmer

The comments made by Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, on 22 June 2026.

I would like to thank Prime Minister Keir Starmer for his contribution to strengthening the Franco-British relationship, his commitment to in the coalition of volunteers for Ukraine, and to reviving the relationship between the UK and the European Union.

The work done together for defence, nuclear energy, space and innovation, especially at our Franco-British summit last July, is a testament to that commitment.

We will continue on this path for the benefit of our people and Europe.
