Von der Leyen urges deeper EU-UK cooperation amid global instability
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has called for deeper cooperation between Europe and the UK. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, she stressed that closer ties would benefit both sides in an increasingly unstable world. Von der Leyen made her appeal over a decade after Britain’s exit from the European Union. She argued that the futures of Europe and the UK remain 'more intertwined than ever'. Her speech highlighted shared challenges in security, economic stability, and the defence of democracies.
She urged both sides to be ambitious in rebuilding their partnership. According to her, stronger collaboration in these areas would serve their mutual interests. The call comes as global tensions rise, making closer alignment more pressing than before. The proposal signals a push for renewed engagement after years of post-Brexit separation. Von der Leyen’s remarks suggest a focus on practical cooperation rather than political divisions. The next steps will depend on how both sides respond to her suggestions.
