A diplomatic row has broken out between the British and Greek governments over the Elgin Marbles.
The Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis was due to meet Rishi Sunak in London, but No 10 cancelled the meeting at the last minute.
A spokesman for the Greek prime minister told the BBC that he was "disappointed" the meeting had been cancelled "at the 11th hour".
The cancellation came the day after Mr Mitsotakis said the marbles should be returned.
The marbles are ancient Greek treasures in the British Museum brought to the UK by the British diplomat Lord Elgin in the early 19th Century.
