Prior to his negotiations with French President Emmanuel Macron, the British PM stressed that Paris and London should rely on the operation of nuclear power plants in the energy sector.

"We have seen the negative impact of our dependence on fossil fuels and Russia's ability to use gas supplies as pressure. This underlines the importance of using nuclear power plants, as well as renewable resources in our energy balance," Mr. Sunak said, adding that ensuring energy security is an important topic of the French-British negotiations.

"Our Sizewell C NPP construction project has become a good signal," the British Prime Minister stated.
