European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday she spoke with new British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and is looking forward to working on issues such as "Russia's war on Ukraine and climate change."

The bloc is also working on finding joint solutions under the Protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland that will provide stability and predictability, von der Leyen said in a tweet.

Sunak later said the UK and EU will work together as friends and allies to tackle the challenges ahead, adding he looks forward to meeting in person soon with von der Leyen.
