UK-British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is preparing for a visit to Dublin, marking the first trip by a British leader to the Republic of Ireland in five years. This visit is part of Starmer’s effort to strengthen diplomatic and trade relations with Ireland and the European Union following his Labour Party’s victory in the July elections.
Starmer aims to improve cooperation with EU countries without revisiting Brexit terms, and his visit on Saturday is intended to repair the Anglo-Irish relationship, which has been strained since the 2016 Brexit referendum. The trip will also address concerns related to Northern Ireland’s trading rules, given its border with the Republic of Ireland.
During his visit, Starmer will meet with Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris, interact with local businesses, and attend a football match between England and Ireland.

Starmer had previously hosted Harris in July, seeing the recent election as a chance to revitalize bilateral relations. Following his trip to Dublin, Starmer plans to visit Washington next week for talks with President Joe Biden, with discussions expected to cover the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza.
This will be Starmer’s second visit to the White House since his election, as both leaders work to bolster Western support amid these ongoing international issues.
