Joint Statement Germany – United Kingdom

Imported from official source

Announcement

At the occasion of the meeting of Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Berlin on 8 October 2026, the following milestones and way forward have been agreed:

  • Kensington Treaty ratification - Federal Chancellor Merz and Prime Minister Burnham finalised the ratification of the Kensington Treaty through the official exchange of documents. The Kensington Treaty, signed in July 2025 in London, spans the breadth of the bilateral relationship, enhancing cooperation in the face of global challenges, and delivering tangible benefits for UK and German citizens. 
  • Industrial Tech Corridor - To connect AI and critical technology scale-ups with industrial demand, this initiative supports the progression of UK and German Tech to developed scaled industrial use cases. The focus will be initially on AI and high-value industrial applications. A first dedicated Tech Corridor roundtable convening CEOs of selected primes, AI scale-ups, and senior officials will be held later in the autumn. 
  • Counter Hybrid threat partnership - Germany and the UK will deepen cooperation in order to prepare for and respond to growing Hybrid threats. Through this partnership we will work together to build democratic and societal resilience, better protect critical national infrastructure, and improve our ability to monitor, mitigate and counter Hybrid threats. 
  • Space cooperation - Germany and the UK intend to deepen their strategic cooperation in space, spanning civil, commercial, security and defence interests. To this end, we will work towards a Memorandum of Understanding to be signed at the upcoming UK-German government consultations in early 2027. In the immediate term, we will deepen cooperation on launch and assured access to space, including SaxaVord Spaceport to support a more resilient and responsive European access to space. On the space security and defence side, Germany and the UK will strengthen bilateral and multilateral cooperation.
