YEREVAN, AUGUST 28, ARMENPRESS. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz agreed in Berlin on Wednesday to work on an ambitious treaty covering issues from defence to trade that would be part of a reset of British relations with the European Union, Reuters reports.
According to the source, Prime Minister Keir Starmer's trip to the EU's top powers, Germany and France, aims to help Britain move beyond the previous Conservative government's fractious relations with European allies.
Starmer, who took office last month, has put improved ties at the heart of his efforts to boost Britain's economic growth.
