Truss arrives in Prague for crunch meetings with European leaders

Ms Truss’s presence in Prague has attracted the interest of the European media, given the UK’s frosty relations with the EU in recent years and the ongoing row over the Northern Ireland Protocol.

Liz Truss has begun a series of a crunch meetings with European leaders in Prague, as she gears up to make headway on energy and migration during the one-day summit.

The British prime minister, who has endured a difficult few days after a Conservative Party conference dominated by internal division and backbench opposition to some of her key policies, landed in the Czech capital on Thursday for a day of diplomatic catch-ups and key bilateral meetings with French president Emmanuel Macron and other European leaders.
