No 10 responds to King Charles Cop27 ‘ban’ as Sunak says it is right he focuses on ‘depressing domestic challenges’

From 1h ago

No 10 says ‘unanimously agreed’ under Truss that King shouldn’t go to Cop27 climate summit

Downing Street said it was “unanimously agreed” by Buckingham Palace and the government that the King would not attend the Cop27 climate summit under Liz Truss’s premiership.

A No 10 spokesperson said government advice was sought, as is “standard practice”, and it was agreed it was not the “right occasion” for Charles to visit in person. She said:

As is standard practice, government advice was sought and provided under a previous PM, and it was unanimously agreed that it would not be the right occasion for the King to visit in person.

She added she is “not aware” that the advice has changed.

The environment secretary, Thérèse Coffey, claimed this morning that it was up to the King whether he attends the climate summit in Egypt next month. She told Sky News:

I think it’s up to him. I know that he takes an interest in this particular issue, but it’s up to him.

Downing Street said the government remains “absolutely committed” to leading international action on climate change despite Rishi Sunak’s absence at Cop27.

Asked about the former culture secretary Nadine Dorries’ tweet that it was wrong for Sunak to skip the conference, the No 10 spokesperson said:

We are facing serious economic challenges. The prime minister is focused on dealing with those issues, and the public, I think, would also expect him to be in the country … dealing with those ahead of the autumn statement.

But we’re also very clear that the public should also judge us by our actions and we are forging ahead of many other countries on net zero, for example.

President Macron congratulated him on his appointment and the prime minister stressed the importance he places on the UK’s relationship with France – our neighbour and ally. The leaders agreed that there are a huge range of areas where UK-France cooperation is vital, including on Ukraine, climate, defence and the economy.

\n

The prime minister and President Macron discussed a range of global issues, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. They agreed on the importance of continuing to work in support of Ukraine. As people across Europe face a difficult winter, with rising energy costs resulting from Putin’s invasion, the leaders resolved to work together to secure a more stable energy future. This includes increasing cooperation on nuclear energy.

\n

The prime minister stressed the importance for both nations to make the Channel route completely unviable for people traffickers. The leaders committed to deepening our partnership to deter deadly journeys across the Channel that benefit organised criminals.

\n

The prime minister and President Macron looked forward to meeting soon and to holding a UK-France summit next year.
