I can't remember that a Speaker of the German Bundestag ever visited a Royal or even a parliament in the past.
What was the reason of that visit? I would like to know, if possible

Bärbel Bas has also met King Charles in February.


Here's a part of the press release about Bärbel Bas' current journey:

"From March 20th to 24th, President of the Bundestag Bärbel Bas will visit Norway and Finland. The trip is at the invitation of the Speakers of the Norwegian and Finnish Parliaments, Masud Gharahkhani and Matti Vanhanen. The main topics of the visit are the fundamentally changed security policy situation after Russia's attack on Ukraine and the associated consequences - such as Finland's and Sweden's applications for NATO membership and effects in the area of energy security and supply. Another topic will be international cooperation on research into climate change." source
