Starmer's upcoming discussions with Scholz center around not only rebuilding trust with European partners post-Brexit but also establishing a significant bilateral agreement that aims to enhance defence cooperation and trade relations between the UK and Germany.
The new UK-Germany agreement, compared to the historic Lancaster House treaty, focuses on a multitude of issues, including extensive collaboration on illegal migration, which has become an urgent topic following a tragic stabbing incident in Solingen.
Starmer's call for deeper ties with Germany and France comes at a time when Europe is feeling the strain of illegal migration and economic challenges, making joint action more pressing for sustainable growth and security.
The discussions between the leaders will not only strengthen defence strategies but are also pivotal in addressing external pressures, such as military support for Ukraine amid ongoing conflicts, reminding allies of their mutual commitments.
