Germany's conservative CDU/CSU political union and the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) have signed off on a coalition deal in Berlin which paves the way for a new government to be sworn in on Tuesday.
CDU party leader Friedrich Merz, set to be sworn in as Germany's new chancellor, pledged that the three parties would "vigorously get to work."
"We know that it is our almost historical obligation to lead this coalition to success. We are determined to do this together," he said ahead of the signing.
The motto of the 144-page coalition agreement is "Responsibility for Germany."
"Germany can successfully master every task on its own and in close co-operation with our partners and friends in the world," the document says.
The agreement renews "the promise of the social market economy - opportunities and prosperity for all" and says the new government will strengthen Germany's defence capabilities to safeguard freedom and peace.
