Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is set to seek an agreement with his British counterpart Liz Truss over the return of the Elgin marbles to Athens according to a statement published in the Sunday Times.

“At a time when Truss will be looking to build her credibility and when the UK is sort of cornered in terms of its overall image after HM Queen Elizabeth II funeral,  it will be a fantastic gesture, and that’s what I’ll tell her,” said Mitsotakis to the Time’s Matthew Campbell.

The prime minister shared his belief that HM King Charles III, with who he says he has a good personal relationship, will have to remain neutral on the issue due to his position, but is supportive of the initiative to re-unite the Parthenon marbles.

Mitsotakis stated that this belief is based on discussions held between the two men when King Charles III was Prince of Wales, and noted that sentiment in the United Kingdom is shifting.
