Germany is a valued Partner with whom we have excellent bilateral relations. Our countries are engaged continuously in a range of high level political and official visits; including two that I took part in this year, in January to open Zeitgeist Irland 24 in Berlin, a year long celebration of Irish culture in Germany, and in February for the Munich Security Conference.
Last year we had 13 Ministerial visits to Germany reflecting the importance of our bilateral relationship and the Joint Plan of Action agreed between our two countries have been an extremely successful project leading to greater coordination and information sharing between our countries.
While at this time I have no plans to visit Germany during Quarter 4 of this year, I look forward to visiting Germany again in the future and I will ensure that we continue to engage with our German counterparts, including Foreign Minister Baerbock, on various EU and international issues in our common interest.
