Sir Keir Starmer has spoken to Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre ahead of a meeting of the so-called ‘Coalition of the Willing’ in Paris, Downing Street said.
According to the UK readout, the Prime Minister said the Paris meeting would provide a further chance to integrate US planning with the coalition’s work on the “cessation of hostilities”, with both leaders agreeing it was vital to keep up momentum towards what they described as a just and lasting peace.
The two leaders also discussed maritime security in the High North, building on what the statement called already close UK–Norway cooperation, and said they looked forward to speaking again in Paris.
