Potsdam / Berlin (dpa / bb) - The Greens from both countries are convinced that Berlin and Brandenburg must work together much more closely in the future.
Berlin's green top candidate for the House of Representatives election, Bettina Jarasch, also spoke out in favor of joint economic development.
"No foreign investor understands why there is a Berlin and a Brandenburg booth at trade fairs," said Jarasch on Wednesday at an event with the green parliamentary leaders of both countries in Potsdam.
The aim is to attract companies with future-proof and sustainable business models in particular to the metropolitan region.
"We should promote this together and pursue a strategic settlement policy with one another, not against each other," said Jarasch.
But when it comes to transport and housing policy, the energy transition and climate protection, cross-border cooperation is becoming even more important, said Jarasch.
Many goals can only be achieved together.
"Berlin needs Brandenburg, and Brandenburg needs Berlin."
Jarasch called for a state treaty in which the common climate protection goals should be made binding.
"The expansion of renewable energies is very central."

Petra Budke, parliamentary group leader of the Brandenburg parliamentary group, said the goal was to make the common metropolitan region, in which a good six million people lived, more sustainable, ecological and cosmopolitan.
