UK prime minister Liz Truss and French president Emanuel Macron have confirmed their support for the planned Sizewell C nuclear power station and promised to take action to finalise an investment decision within the next month.
Truss and Macron issued a joint statement in which they said they were keen to advance cooperation, on energy in particular. They pledged “full support” for plans to build two EPR units at Sizewell C, to be developed by French energy company EDF on the Suffolk coast in southeast England.
Truss and Macron were meeting at the first summit of the European Political Community in Prague where they discussed matters for cooperation.
