2. Reaffirming our shared values and our commitment to deeper cooperation against the backdrop of an evolving and complex global geopolitical landscape, we agreed a new Strategic Partnership between the UK and EU. We agreed this would build on the stable foundation for our relationship set by the Withdrawal Agreement, including the Windsor Framework, and the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, and reaffirmed our commitment to their full, timely and faithful implementation.
3. We reflected on the need to develop an ambitious, dynamic relationship which meets the needs of our citizens. In this context, we welcomed a renewed agenda for European UnionUnited Kingdom cooperation – Common Understanding agreed between the United Kingdom and the European Commission, which covers our commitments on security, defence and development cooperation, to put people at the centre of our relationship, to strengthen our economies while protecting our planet and its resources, and on internal security, judicial cooperation, and irregular migration. We agreed to proceed swiftly with the undertakings set out therein, in accordance with our respective procedures and legal frameworks.”
