BERLIN: Germany will remain part of NATO's nuclear sharing agreement under its new government, according to a coalition deal agreed on Wednesday , a move that will prevent a rift in the Western military alliance at a time of rising tensions with Russia.

It had not been clear how the incoming government would handle the issue, as some lawmakers in the new coalition oppose Berlin's participation in the nuclear sharing deal."As long as nuclear weapons play a role in NATO's strategic concept, Germany has an interest in participating in strategic discussions and planning processes," the document said, referring to Berlin's seat on NATO's Nuclear Planning Group.

The German air force has been flying the jet since the 1980s. The defence ministry plans to phase it out between 2025 and 2030 as it is expensive to maintain and difficult to find spare parts for. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said last week that US nuclear weapons might be moved further east if Germany dropped out of the nuclear sharing deal - a move that would anger Russia.
