UK PM Starmer's Historic Visit to Ireland

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's visit to Ireland marks the first by a British leader in five years and aims to 'reset' post-Brexit relations with Ireland. Starmer and Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris emphasized strengthening bilateral ties, economic growth, and reaffirming the Good Friday Agreement. The leaders agreed to host the first UK-Ireland summit next March and stressed cooperation in security, climate, trade, and culture. However, some opposition, like DUP's Sammy Wilson, warned that closer EU relations could threaten Brexit. Starmer's commitment to improving UK-Ireland and UK-EU relations follows his Labour Party's recent election victory. The visit concluded with a symbolic gesture of exchanging football shirts and attending a Nations League match.
