UK, U.S. to renew the Atlantic Charter prior to G7 Summit

London, Jun 10 (Prensa Latina) President Joe Biden will meet UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson in Cornwall on his first overseas visit since entering the White House, with the two leaders set to agree a new Atlantic Charter, of 1941, now with a shared vision on the global Covid-19 pandemic recovery, the British government announced.

The new 2021 Atlantic Charter will recognize that even though the world is far different from 1941, UK and the United States share the same values, according to the statement.

In the first in-person meeting between the two leaders, Biden and Johnson will work on efforts to resume transatlantic travel and agree a new commitment for the UK and U.S. to co-operate on challenges including climate change, security, global trading system and defense of democracy.

The parties will also analyze other areas of bilateral cooperation and the need to preserve the Northern Ireland peace agreements, of which Washington is one of its guarantors.

The agreements we will sign today, based on our common values and visions, will be the foundation for a sustainable global recovery, Johnson said.
