Published 23 May 2023
A landmark defence agreement between the UK and Germany will strengthen our security and prosperity, deepening our defence cooperation and boosting our economies.
The agreement was signed by Defence Secretary Ben Wallace and German Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht in Berlin today.
It will see the two countries work together on a range of defence and security challenges, including:
- Countering new and emerging threats, such as cyber attacks and hybrid warfare
- Strengthening our resilience to future pandemics and other global crises
- Promoting peace and stability in our regions and beyond
The agreement will also boost our economies, creating jobs and growth in both countries.
It will see us:
- Invest in joint research and development projects
- Create new opportunities for our businesses
- Boost trade and investment
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said:
“This agreement is a landmark moment in the UK-Germany defence relationship. It will deepen our cooperation on a range of defence and security challenges, and boost our economies.
“We are two of the strongest and most capable militaries in Europe, and by working together we can make our countries even safer and more prosperous.”
German Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht said:
“This agreement is a testament to the close and enduring friendship between the UK and Germany. It will strengthen our defence cooperation and boost our economies.
“We face a range of common challenges, and by working together we can better protect our countries and our citizens.”
The agreement is part of the UK’s wider commitment to strengthening our defence and security relationships with our European partners.
It follows the signing of a defence agreement with France in 2022, and the launch of the UK-led Joint Expeditionary Force in 2014.
These agreements are a clear demonstration of the UK’s commitment to European security and defence.
We are a strong and reliable partner, and we will continue to work with our European allies to ensure the safety and prosperity of our continent.
