“Secure borders are a vital foundation of our plan for change, so I am also very pleased to get started on talks for a bespoke returns agreement between our countries,” Starmer said in a statement.
King Charles will also be expected to come to a decision following the meeting.
The Palace has not yet divulged details of the king’s meeting with Al-Sudani. It remains to be seen if Charles will be hosting the esteemed guest at the royal residence.
