The UK and Germany are expected to sign a landmark defense agreement next week, The Times newspaper reported on Sunday, citing UK Defense Secretary John Healey.
The new agreement will reportedly allow UK and German forces to hold joint military exercises on NATO's eastern border with Russia, likely in Estonia and Lithuania.
It will also facilitate joint procurement of weapons and closer cooperation on developing new-generation armaments, the newspaper reported.
Healey reportedly views this deal with Germany as the most important bilateral agreement for the UK since the 2010 military pact with France.
