Britain's Labour Party Leader Keir Starmer attends television interviews on the final day of the party's annual conference in Liverpool, Britain, October 11, 2023.
It is not unusual for opposition leaders to receive summit invitations, but COP28 is particularly resonant.
Ireland's climate minister, Eamon Ryan, hailed Britain's climate leadership, but also said Sunak's reset of some measures had not gone down well when the news was reported while he was in New York for the U.N. General Assembly.
Britain's development minister Andrew Mitchell, at COP28, told Reuters what Sunak did "was very good government".
But the Conservatives' former finance minister George Osborne questioned whether Sunak had been angered that Kitsotakis had met Starmer before him.
