Germany: Military Alliances
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his planned timetable is for securing a defence and security agreement with Germany.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Secretary of State for Defence travelled to Berlin on 24 July to sign a joint declaration with German Minister of Defence on enhanced defence cooperation between the UK and Germany. The UK and Germany have agreed shared priority objects for cooperation, including strengthening defence industries, reinforcing Euro-Atlantic security, enhancing inter-operability, addressing emerging threats, supporting Ukraine, and cooperation on long-range capabilities
Our nations consider closer defence cooperation as an important first step in a new relationship between Germany and the United Kingdom.
