The Franco-German Ministerial Council, created in 2003 as part of the Elysee Treaty’s 40th-anniversary renewal, brings German and French cabinets together. It aligns policies on the EU, defense, economy, and foreign affairs.

The meeting this time takes place against the backdrop of a , where Prime Minister Francois Bayrou is expected to face a confidence vote on September 8 that could topple his government.
