Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, with reference to paragraph 63.a of chapter 2 on page 63 of the document entitled The Future Relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union, published on 12 July 2018, what progress he has made in developing a future partnership with the EU to cover consultation and regular dialogue on geographic and thematic issues and the global challenges the UK and the EU face.

Answer

We have held a number of constructive discussions with the EU on the future external security partnership, including consultation and dialogue on geographic and thematic issues and global challenges.

We are seeking to develop a new security partnership with the EU that builds on the breadth and depth of our shared interests and values, and takes account of the range of ever evolving global security threats that we face. We want to continue to cooperate with the EU on foreign policy, defence and development. Regular consultation and dialogue will be an important pillar of our future partnership in this area.
