London - Arab Today
British Prime Minister Theresa May will head to Berlin and Paris this week for her first foreign trip as prime minister, as she seeks to build bilateral relationships with leaders of the two other big EU member states ahead of any Brexit negotiations.
May will first head to Berlin on Wednesday to meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel before flying to Paris on Thursday to meet her French counterpart Francois Hollande.
In Berlin, May will attend a bilateral meeting and a working dinner with chancellor Merkel.
This will be an opportunity to discuss the bilateral relationship, cooperation on a range of global challenges, and of course how the UK and Germany can work together as the UK prepares to leave the EU.
On Thursday, the Prime Minister will visit France for a bilateral meeting with President Hollande at the Elysee. The talks are likely to cover similar issues as those in Berlin, as well as Thursday’s attack in Nice and counter-terrorism cooperation.
