On the other side of the Atlantic, US President Joe Biden reached out to Starmer to convey his best wishes and reaffirm the strong bond between their countries. The European Union leaders, including European Council president Charles Michel and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, expressed their readiness to collaborate with Starmer on various critical issues such as security, energy, and migration.

The wave of congratulations extended to Starmer from leaders across the globe, including Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Ireland’s Taoiseach Simon Harris, Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and many others. The messages conveyed hope for future cooperation and shared efforts in tackling global challenges.

Starmer’s victory, in the midst of a rise of far-right parties in European elections, signifies a shift towards a more progressive political era. The international response to his win, as reflected in headlines from prominent newspapers, underscores the significance of this historic moment in British politics.

As the world watches and congratulates Keir Starmer on his triumph, the expectations and hopes for a new chapter of collaboration and progress on the global stage have never been higher.
