Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has promised the UK will "not return to free movement" during an address on "resetting" the UK's relations with the EU in Brussels.
During his speech, the PM declared there will be "issues which are difficult to resolve", and areas on which Britain will "stand firm".
Starmer told the conference: "There will be no return to freedom of movement, no return to the customs union, and no return to the single market.
"But we will find constructive ways to work together and deliver for the British people."
Outlining his intentions for the UK's future relationship with the EU under a Labour government, Starmer was optimistic for a more "solid, stable footing" with Europe, following a "productive" meeting with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.
Starmer continued: "Last night's events have highlighted more than ever that at a time of escalating conflict, including Russia's ongoing invasion in Ukraine, it is vitally important that we ensure we work ever more closely with our partners and allies in the pursuit of peace and security.
"So we're putting our relationship with Europe on a more solid, stable footing. That's what the British people want a return to pragmatic, sensible leadership when it comes to dealing with our closest neighbours, because they know that this matters for growth, for jobs and for security."
