Government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis on Wednesday referred to a meeting between Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and on a possible agreement relating to the Parthenon Sculptures. He noted that nothing had essentially changed, however, and that any celebration would be premature at this time.

In the leadup to the UK general election, there has been increasing talk of a 'deal’ being done between Greece and the British Museum over the Parthenon Sculptures in the likely event that the Rishi Sunak-led Conservative Government is ousted.
Greece presented its case for the return of the Parthenon Sculptures at a session of an UNESCO committee that met in Paris on 29-31 May, the Culture Ministry said on Saturday.
