A collaborative statement to enhance defense and security cooperation has been signed by the UK and Germany. This agreement coincides with the goal of recently elected UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to strengthen the security links between the UK and the EU.
In a meeting in Berlin, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius and British colleague John Healey signed the declaration and spoke about the significance of a deeper alliance. Pistorius underlined the need of forging closer ties between the two countries, outlining initiatives to grow their military sectors and work together on the creation, manufacturing, and acquisition of armaments and ammunition.
A key component of this deal is support for Ukraine, with both parties agreeing to better coordinate their aid efforts for the country devastated by conflict. Healey emphasized that the new British administration is committed to rebuilding ties with Europe—not just via official agreements, but also through cooperative efforts and positioning the country as a trustworthy partner of democracy.
Healy’s 48-hour tour of Europe included a stop in Berlin; next, he was scheduled to visit Poland and Estonia, where he was scheduled to speak with British troops stationed there. The voyage started in France. Following its recent election to power, the UK’s new Labor administration has promised to give NATO and Ukraine top priority on its foreign policy agenda.
