French Minister of Armed Forces and Veterans hosted UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting during his first overseas visit, focusing on bilateral defence cooperation and European security. The ministers toured the Operational Headquarters of the Multinational Force for Ukraine (MNF-U) at Mont-Valérien, reviewing joint support for Ukraine, including military aid and security guarantees. They addressed the transition of MNF-U command from France to the UK and planning for the multinational mission in the Strait of Hormuz (M3SoH). The officials reaffirmed commitments to strengthen France-UK defence ties for European stability and assessed projects launched since the July 2025 summit to enhance military capabilities, industrial collaboration, interoperability, and Europe’s NATO role. The discussions emphasized maintaining defensive postures and securing international navigation routes.
