Without effusive hugs like Emmanuel Macron or Volodymyr Zelensky, the premier British Prime Minister Keir Starmer received Pedro Sánchez in Downing Street this Wednesday afternoon, marking the first visit by a Spanish Prime Minister to the famous Number 10 in seven years, something Starmer found "incredible." In a lightning-fast trip lasting just over two hours, with very limited media coverage, no questions asked, and less than four minutes of open statements, the two discussed the significance of the meeting and the importance of the ties between the two countries, both on a human and commercial level. These ties have been sealed by the signing of a bilateral strategic agreement, "crucial," in Starmer's words, which aims to strengthen "cooperation after Brexit, and which is parallel and complementary to the United Kingdom's relationship with the European Union," according to the signed text.
