UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in Egypt on Sunday to attend an international peace summit focused on achieving a ceasefire in Gaza, the BBC reported.
According to Downing Street, Starmer will pay “special tribute” to U.S. President Donald Trump during the summit, which will be held on Monday in the Egyptian resort city of Sharm El-Sheikh.
The summit, co-chaired by President Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, seeks to “end the war in the Gaza Strip, strengthen peace efforts in the Middle East, and pave the way for a new era of regional stability and security,” according to a statement from Cairo.
More than 20 world leaders are expected to attend, including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, French President Emmanuel Macron, Jordan’s King Abdullah II, Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
