German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is to receive British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for talks in Berlin on Wednesday.

The topics of the meeting at the Chancellery will include mutual relations, the Russian war against Ukraine and the situation in the Middle East, deputy government spokeswoman Christiane Hoffmann said.

This will be Sunak's inaugural visit to Berlin. The conservative leader has been in power since October 2022.

Most recently, he had left foreign policy almost entirely to his Foreign Secretary David Cameron.

Sunak's Conservative Party is well behind the Social Democratic Labour Party in all polls and, as things stand, would lose the government after the general election planned for this year.
