Buckingham Palace has confirmed that His Majesty King Charles of the United Kingdom will host German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier for a three-day state visit at Windsor Castle beginning December 3. The visit marks the first official trip by a German president to the UK in 27 years and aims to reinforce diplomatic and trade cooperation between the two nations.
President Steinmeier, accompanied by his wife Elke Büdenbender, will be welcomed by King Charles and Queen Camilla. Discussions are expected to focus on enhancing bilateral trade, investment opportunities, and collaboration in key sectors such as green technology, manufacturing, and sustainable development.
This engagement will be King Charles’ third state visit hosting of the year, following meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron in July and U.S. President Donald Trump in September. These diplomatic events have underscored the UK’s ongoing efforts to strengthen international partnerships and promote global trade resilience.
King Charles’ previous visit to Germany in 2023, his first official overseas trip after ascending the throne, laid the groundwork for continued cooperation between the two countries. His sustained diplomatic outreach reflects the UK’s commitment to fostering long-term economic and cultural ties within Europe.
Further details of the visit’s program will be released in due course, according to Buckingham Palace. Despite undergoing medical treatment, the King remains active in his royal duties, emphasizing his dedication to advancing the United Kingdom’s trade diplomacy and international engagement.
