British-German defence & security co-operation

The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, in partnership with the Royal United Services Institute, is pleased to invite you to The Promising Future of the British-German Defence & Security Cooperation

The Rt Hon John Healey MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Defence, and Nils Schmid MdB, SPD Parliamentary Group Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs, set out a joint vision for enhancing the the British-German defence relationship. The war in Ukraine has transformed the European security landscape and forced countries from across the continent to reassess, in some cases, assumptions held for decades about their defence and role within the Western Alliance. These discussions take place against a backdrop of unprecedented threats to the broader rules-based international order, something the UK and Germany helped build and have benefited greatly from.
