U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and ******* Chancellor Olaf Scholz met in Berlin on Wednesday with a view to deepen ties amid a broader reset of relations after London’s exit from the ********* Union.

In a press conference following the meeting, Starmer said areas of the bilateral agreement under discussion could include energy security, defence, climate change and economic themes. A strong relationship between the countries was also highly important for economic growth, the U.K. leader added, noting that Scholz and he had also spoken about an action plan for ******** migration.

A deal is not expected to be formally struck until the end of the year.

Scholz on Wednesday described Germany and the U.K. as “special partners,” according to a CNBC translation, while Starmer said the two already had a strong relationship and were now building on that.

Since taking office in July, Starmer has repeatedly said his government would seek to “reset” relationships between the U.K. and ********* countries. The British prime minister is visiting Berlin as part of a multi-day trip to Germany and France to meet with several political and business leaders.

“We have a once in a generation opportunity to reset our relationship with Europe and strive for genuine, ambitious partnerships that deliver for the British people,” Starmer said ahead of the trip.

“We must turn a corner on Brexit and fix the broken relationships left behind by the previous government,” he added.
