§ 17. Mr. BradshawTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of bilateral relations between the UK and Germany; and if he will make a statement. [129557]
§ Mr. VazAs my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister said at this year's Königswinter Conference our relations with Germany are as excellent as any bilateral relations can be. Three weeks ago my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister visited the German Chancellor in Berlin, and just this morning my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary met the German Foreign Minister to discuss a range of EU issues where we have many important common interests. I invited the German Minister for Europe Herr Christoph Zopel to London on 14–15 April and I visited him in Berlin in March.
