Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, had a meeting with his UK counterpart, Mr Ed Miliband, Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, in Paris on 10 November 2026.

The Ministers recalled their support for Ukraine as Russia steps up its aggression, and signalled their determination to increase pressure on Moscow. They also shared their views on the situation in the Middle East.

The talks also focused on the next stages in strengthening the relationship between the European Union and the United Kingdom, ahead of the EU-UK summit on 20 November 2026. 

They highlighted the shared desire to deepen bilateral relations in every field of cooperation, building on President Macron’s visit to London at the beginning of September.
