Watch live as UK defence secretary John Healey and his German counterpart Boris Pistorius hold a news conference on Wednesday (24 July).
Mr Healey is making his first ministerial visits to Germany, France, Poland and Estonia on a whistlestop tour this week aimed at sending a message that European security will be the Government’s “first foreign and defence priority”.
Sir Keir Starmer is aiming to conclude a broad security pact with the EU.
It aims to also cover areas such as energy and climate as well as closer cooperation in the defence industry.
