Keir Starmer

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to visit Dublin on Saturday, marking the first trip to the Republic of Ireland by a British leader in five years. This visit comes as his administration seeks to improve relations with Ireland and other European Union members.

Starmer's Labour Party returned to power after winning a July election for the first time since 2010. He aims to strengthen diplomatic and trade ties with the EU, without reopening the fundamental aspects of Brexit.

Starmer recently welcomed Irish counterpart Simon Harris in July. Both leaders view this as an opportunity to reset relations post-Brexit. They will discuss business and later attend a soccer match between Ireland and England.
