What is important to do business successfully in the UK? Even after BREXIT, UK-German trade relations will continue.
Germany and the UK not only share common interests in tackling climate change, but also have a strong bilateral relationship in many other areas. In order to successfully address the still numerous challenges such as the climate crisis, pandemic, digitalisation, etc., and for trade and investment to flow as smoothly as possible across the Channel, we need a solid UK-German relationship.
