It is a “matter of regret” that a diplomatic row has erupted over the Elgin Marbles, a Cabinet minister said, after Rishi Sunak snubbed Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
The Greek leader’s meeting with the Prime Minister due on Tuesday was unexpectedly cancelled following Mr Mitsotakis’s comments about the Parthenon Sculptures, which he wants returned to Athens from the British Museum.
