"This agreement is a testament to the strong partnership between Delaware and Maryland, and our shared commitment to working together for the betterment of our citizens," Governor Carney stated.The second agreement signed on the same day was a multilateral treaty with several European countries, including Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. This treaty focuses on promoting cooperation in areas such as combating transnational crime, addressing climate change, and enhancing cybersecurity measures.Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings, who played a key role in negotiating the multilateral treaty, hailed it as a significant step towards fostering closer relations with European partners and bolstering the state's role in the global arena. "These agreements underscore Delaware's commitment to upholding the rule of law and promoting peace and stability on the international stage," Attorney General Jennings remarked.The signing of these agreements comes at a time when Delaware is increasingly becoming a hub for international business and diplomacy.
