Washington: US President Joe Biden on Friday spoke with the newly elected British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, extending his congratulations on the center-left Labour party's sweeping victory in the general election. The White House issued a statement highlighting the key points of their conversation.

In their discussion, both leaders "reiterated their continued support for Ukraine as it fights Russia's unrelenting aggression," underscoring a united front against the ongoing conflict. This commitment reflects a consistent stance shared by both nations in recent geopolitical issues.

Furthermore, Biden and Starmer "affirmed their shared commitment to protecting the gains of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement." They expressed a mutual intent to work with Northern Ireland's leaders to foster and sustain economic growth and opportunities, signaling a dedication to maintaining peace and stability in the region.

In addition to these pressing matters, the statement from the White House noted that Biden and Starmer "reaffirmed the special relationship between our nations and the importance of working together in support of freedom and democracy around the world." This affirmation serves to strengthen the longstanding alliance between the United States and the United Kingdom.

Starmer is set to meet with Biden and other global leaders in Washington next week during a NATO summit. This meeting will further underscore the cooperative efforts of the two nations on various international fronts.

The Labour party's significant win in the British elections presents a notable contrast to the political landscape among Britain's closest Western allies. In France, the far-right is gaining momentum, and in the United States, former President Donald Trump is currently leading in polls against Biden ahead of the upcoming November presidential election.

In their conversation, Biden and Starmer emphasized the importance of their nations' special relationship and their collaboration in supporting global freedom and democracy. The call between the two leaders reflects a shared vision and a commitment to tackling global challenges together.
