77 years ago today, the Grundgesetz (Basic Law) was promulgated. It's Germany's bulwark against authoritarianism - protecting democracy, human dignity, freedom & the rule of law. It was at the 1948 London Conference that 🇬🇧 & other Western allies called for the constitution.

External actors try to undermine our democracies at a time when we also see political & societal fragmentation domestically. Discussed how to increase democratic resilience with experts, students & civil society from 🇬🇧 and 🇩🇪. #KensingtonTreaty

Especially in our current climate it is vital to cooperate across borders to step up our fight against antisemitism in all its forms. With @LordJohnMann and @Jon4HighPeak I discussed how we can improve the protection of Jewish communities in our countries together.

2026 marks 70 years of the Federal Intelligence Service, the BND. 🇩🇪🇬🇧 intelligence cooperation is keeping us safe in a rapidly changing security landscape. The #KensingtonTreaty strengthened these ties, e.g. with a pledge to jointly fight hybrid threats & foreign interference.

The UK and EU are working to improve trade in agricultural goods and food. Parliaments play a central role in scrutinising the process. Today, I discussed the opportunities arising from the 🇪🇺🇬🇧 reset with MPs on the Environment, Food & Rural Affairs Committee.

It was a great honour to attend the Liberation Day celebrations in Jersey this year, on the 81st anniversary of the end of German occupation. Germany is truly grateful for the friendship of the people of Jersey as well as all the Channel Islands.
