Deepening our defence relationships with European allies continues to be a priority.
Since July 2024 we have signed several new agreements to deepen cooperation, including the UK-Germany Trinity House Agreement and the UK-Estonia roadmap. During 2025 we will also reinvigorate the UK-France Lancaster House Agreement.
Our NATO first approach will complement this work. Investing in our collective defence and security is crucial to further improving our defence relationship with Europe as a whole.
