UK in Germany
Working with Germany
The British-German partnership is strong and built on shared values. It is vital in confronting some of the global challenges of the 21st century including climate change, terrorism, human rights issues and the economy.
We live in a world of increased connections and interdependence through travel, trade and communication. And what happens in one part of the world – whether political, economic or social – directly affects us and the way we live our daily lives.
So we work hard to build and maintain the international and domestic links we need, to maintain and develop our security and prosperity.
