EU Millitary Forces: Germany wants UK military ′as close as possible′ after Brexit
German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen told DW that Europe would
welcome continued military cooperation with the UK after Brexit. She
shared the Munich Security Conference podium with her British
counterpart.
German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen on Friday told DW that Europe was working on ways to continue defense cooperation with the United Kingdom in the event of Brexit.
"We are working on a regulation — the so-called third-state regulation — that gives access to countries like our British friends, which we want to have in our European Defense Union," von der Leyen said. "This is the goal to have our British friends as close as possible."
Von der Leyen was speaking after she opened the Munich Security Conference alongside British Defense Minister Gavin Williamson. During his speech, Williamson urged Germany to continue military cooperation at a European level outside of NATO and the EU.

It based this conclusion on unspecified "authoritative writings" and China's "persistent cyber intrusions."
More broadly, the report described an ambitious Chinese military program aimed at transforming the People's Liberation Army into a modern force, fueled by years of double-digit increases in defense spending. Its main goals include preserving Communist Party rule and preparing for possible hostilities in the Taiwan Strait, the report said.
