UK, EU to resume face-to-face talks in London

London, Nov 28 : The UK and the European Union (EU) will resume face-to-face trade talks in London on Saturday, the country’s chief Brexit negotiator David Frost has confirmed.
“I look forward to welcoming @michelbarnier (EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier) and his team to London and to resuming face-to-face talks tomorrow. We are glad all are safe and well,” Xinhua news agency quoted Frost as saying in a tweet on Friday.
The confirmation came as the two sides had suspended their talks in Brussels, and later resumed virtually, after an EU negotiator tested positive for the novel coronavirus last week.
The negotiations are in a crucial stage as time was running out for both sides to secure a deal before the Brexit transition period expires on December 31.
“It is late, but a deal is still possible, and I will continue to talk until it’s clear that it isn’t. But for a deal to be possible it must fully respect UK sovereignty,” said Frost.
“We look to reach an agreement on this basis, allowing the new beginning to our relationship with the EU which, for our part, we have always wanted.
