Development policy shall be conducted following consultation with the Ministry of Defence. The fight against poverty and establishing structures in the countries from which most refugees originate is in the primary interest of national security. It is also a matter of raising Germany’s profile by way of infrastructure measures and the provision of security structures in those countries that do not usually offer any stability of their own, laying the foundations for this to be followed by construction and sound investment. Orderly reconstruction is not possible without exporting security structures. The pacification of crisis zones and economic support on the ground provide the best defence against terrorism.
