PM aims to strengthen UK-Germany ties

Last week, Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited Berlin and Paris to boost UK economic growth and strengthen international relationships. The trip aimed to reset the UK’s post-Brexit ties with key European partners by launching negotiations for a new UK-Germany bilateral treaty, focusing on increasing trade, enhancing defence and security cooperation, and tackling illegal migration.

Germany, as the UK’s second largest trading partner, and France, as the UK’s fourth largest trading partner, are both vital to these efforts.

Boosting export opportunities could open up expanded markets for owner-managed and small businesses and may result in a more resilient and stable market generally for UK businesses.
