Bentley is a fascinating symbol of 🇬🇧🇩🇪 industrial ties: proudly based in Crewe and part of Germany’s Volkswagen Group.
Really good getting a first-hand look at the innovation and craftsmanship of the thousands of staff here in Crewe.
Germany and the UK are united in the resolve to strengthen European security.
With the #KensingtonTreaty we're tackling the challenges ahead. Europe must regain deterrence dominance.
Thanks to @WiltonPark, @GiselaStuart & all panellists for an important talk!
🇩🇪&🇬🇧 are major economic partners, with bilateral trade exceeding £155bn annually!
Thanks to the German Business Hub & @BCCGeV for bringing together German and UK business leaders at a summit to discuss ways to strengthen cooperation on trade, investment & defence technology.

I held a meeting with the German Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Ms @GermanAmbUK.
Germany is a strategic partner of Ukraine in countering Russian aggression and one of our major allies in Europe. Berlin continues to provide critically important military assistance, particularly for Ukraine’s air defence and the production of interceptors to counter jet-powered Shahed drones. Cooperation in the joint production of drones and unmanned ground vehicles is also developing.
The German government recently allocated an additional funding package for Ukraine’s energy sector. All these are extremely important steps in providing support against the backdrop of Russia intensifying its strikes on Ukraine ahead of winter.
The Ambassador reaffirmed the German government’s unwavering position on the need to continue putting pressure on Russia, which must be intensified in order to achieve peace – for Ukraine and all of Europe.

Yesterday, we celebrated German Unity at Canterbury Cathedral.
37 years ago, brave East Germans demanded freedom & democracy, peacefully bringing down the Iron Curtain.
Democracy isn't guaranteed. We must learn from our history, defend democracy & stand together against division.
On the anniversary of the horrific Hamas terror attacks of 7 October, Germany stands firmly by Israel's side.
We want Israelis and Palestinians to be able to live in peace and security. This is best achieved through a two-state solution.
We will combat antisemitism in all forms.
Last night we celebrated German Unity with Hamburg's First Mayor Tschentscher, @biztradegovuk's Lord Leong & guests.
🇩🇪 unification reminds us that freedom & democracy aren’t guaranteed. We must reject the increasing "people vs establishment" framing & double down on democracy.
On Wednesday, together with Consul General Christiane Hullmann, we marked German Unity with First Minister @JohnSwinney and friends in Edinburgh.
A big thank you to Hamburg und Lower Saxony who showcased their wonderful local cuisine & culture in London & Edinburgh respectively.

A good chat on all things defence and security with Susanne Baumann, Germany’s Ambassador to the UK, during her visit to Scotland. Thanks to @GermanCGEdin for facilitating and hosting! @GermanAmbUK
In today's geopolitical context, making our economies more resilient and less dependent is not only imperative for growth, but also for national security. Excellent exchange with @britishchambers's Shevaun Haviland, colleagues from EU member states, CPTPP members and others.
The Cannock Chase German Military Cemetery stands as an enduring monument to international reconciliation.
My heartfelt thanks to Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal for attending the inauguration of the cemetery's new History Centre.
In our times of polarisation, I draw inspiration from an almost forgotten champion of human rights: George Forster, a visionary thinker ahead of his time. @Andrea_Wulf's "The Traveller" tells his story. Thanks to her & @MishaGlenny for an inspiring talk at the Embassy!
Germany's Basic Law provides for equivalent living conditions across 🇩🇪's 16 Länder. With devolution a UK priority, our #KensingtonTreaty talk explored deepening 🇩🇪🇬🇧 cooperation on this.
Regional gov't brings democracy closer to the people - vital when democracy is under attack.
🏴🇩🇪 ties are strong. Germany is a key foreign investor; German tourists love it there (understandably!), half a million coming each year.
It's been great being back in Scotland - with a jam-packed programme 🧵
Visiting @edintfest, where I even got to see the @BerlinPhil play, has been an absolute personal highlight.
Scottish-German cultural ties are thriving, with many German acts at the festivals, especially the Edinburgh Fringe - and also the Tattoo.
