"We have a new security situation in Europe, if not in the whole world. So therefore there is a need of closer cooperation. But we were talking also about economic and closer ties between our companies, about the exchange of people. So therefore, after some years with growing difficulties after 2016 I think we are in a far better shape and we have to engage in improving the situation and coming closer in this changing world with new threats to all of us,"
"Starmer said the two counties had worked very, very closely on hugely important issues like Ukraine, where our two countries think alike and act alike, on issues of migration and on economic growth and trade, where we go from strength to strength."
German president Frank-Walter Steinmeier received a ceremonial welcome with military pomp, a 41-gun royal salute and an oversized Royal Standard flown above Windsor Castle during the first state visit by a German leader to the UK in 27 years. King Charles and Queen Camilla accompanied Steinmeier and his wife on a carriage ride through Windsor at the start of a three-day visit that includes a visit to the bombed Coventry cathedral. The visit aims to underscore the Kensington Treaty signed in July, which sets plans for closer cooperation on migration, defence, trade and education. Steinmeier and prime minister Keir Starmer noted improved UK-Germany relations after Brexit and stressed cooperation amid Russian aggression in Ukraine. Steinmeier will address parliamentarians and attend a state banquet at Windsor Castle.
