Overview

• The Global Progress Action Summit in London brought together figures from roughly 40 countries, with Sánchez sharing a multilateralism panel with Jacinda Ardern moderated by John Podesta, and the event organized by Labour Together, IPPR and CAP Action.
• Sánchez said the United States has stepped back and framed the moment as an opportunity for the European Union to lead by embracing multilateralism as the core task for center-left governments.
• On migration, he advocated working with origin and transit countries to create opportunities and enable orderly regular migration as the most effective way to disrupt illegal smuggling.
• He voiced pride in belonging to governments that have recognized the State of Palestine, describing that stance as consistent with their support for Ukraine after Russia’s invasion.
• As host, Keir Starmer urged leaders to tackle difficult issues such as immigration, and British media reported he is expected to outline a mandatory national digital ID plan aimed at curbing illegal work and irregular migration.
