Prime Minister Andy Burnham will host French President Emmanuel Macron in London next week, a U.K. government source said on Aug. 27, confirming the first visit by an EU leader since Burnham took office last month.
The British prime minister, who replaced Keir Starmer on July 20, will welcome Macron during a visit to the U.K. capital by France’s president, the source said.
It comes days before the British Museum’s landmark Bayeux Tapestry exhibition opens to the public on Sept. 10, with Macron having played an instrumental role in the historic loan of the medieval work.
