Greek PM seeks return of Elgin Marbles from UK, but UK maintains museum's decision.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is set to meet UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, pushing for the return of the Elgin Marbles, ancient sculptures housed in the British Museum. Despite private meetings between Greek officials and the museum, UK officials maintain their stance that the issue is for the museum to decide, with no plans to change the law allowing the marbles' return. Greece proposes rotating exhibitions as a compromise, but the UK remains firm in its position.
