The BND works closely with international partners and uses various methods, including surveillance and intelligence-sharing, to understand global political, economic, and security developments. It operates under strict legal frameworks to balance national security with privacy rights, maintaining confidentiality and professionalism in its efforts to keep Germany safe from external threats.
