My friend Anita Anand and I agree: Canada & Germany stand closer than ever. The EU-Canada Summit has opened a new chapter in our partnership. Today we discussed how to turn this ambition into action – from security & trade to tackling global challenges. 🇨🇦🤝🇩🇪

As close partners, India & Germany are committed to the rules-based global order. My dear friend Jaishankar and I agree that waterways must remain open & navigable to all, both in the Strait of Hormuz & the Black Sea. Global food & energy crises must be prevented. 🇮🇳🤝🇩🇪

African voices must be heard in global fora. 🇩🇪 therefore strongly supports African Union #G20 membership. Thank you 🇧🇮 FM Bizimana from current #AU Chair Burundi for today’s meeting. We both agree that the AU has a crucial role for economic growth, peace & security.

The Black Sea must not become a warzone. Attacks on civilian ships in Bulgaria’s waters and elsewhere are unacceptable. #Bulgaria can count on Germany’s solidarity as we work to protect our shared security. Thank you, dear Velislava, for your visit & for the friendship between our countries.

I condemn the appalling attacks on merchant vessels in the #BlackSea. They are an attack on international shipping & on global food security, depriving the most vulnerable of much-needed supplies. Our thoughts are with the victims - and our solidarity with our ally #Bulgaria 🇧🇬

It was a pleasure to meet Prime Minister Janez Janša during my visit to #Slovenia. Germany & Slovenia are trusted #EU partners - we appreciate Slovenia‘s role as a bridge between Central & Southeastern Europe - and our deep economic ties, e.g. in the automotive industry.

Grateful for your commitment to put an end to Russia‘s war against #Ukraine, dear Archbishop Gallagher. The Holy See has condemned Russia‘s war. Your voice carries weight, especially in the Global South, where Russia recruits its soldiers. We agreed: Russia has to negotiate now.

I was honoured to meet the Holy See’s Secretary of State, Pietro Parolin. Germany is grateful for the Catholic Church’s work for peace, humanity, and compassion, which is more important than ever. We agreed that #AI has to be regulated well & always respect human dignity.

Montenegro has made remarkable progress towards EU membership - it thus sets an example for the Western Balkans. Thank you, Ervin Ibrahimović, for hosting this year‘s #BerlinProcess Foreign Ministers meeting. We agreed to foster regional cooperation on reconciliation & reforms.

Un primer encuentro importante, Félix Plasencia González, 🇩🇪 supports Venezuela’s economic recovery, steps to open markets & reconstruction efforts after the devastating earthquakes.Our shared goal remains tangible improvements for the people of 🇻🇪 through political transition to democracy

The United Nations stands for the commitment to peace, the principle of sovereign equality of all states and the dignity inherent in every human being. The erosion of international law jeopardises the enormous civilisational progress that the UN stands for.

Thank you, dear Antonio Guterres, for leading the UN through rough waters over the past almost 10 years. We agree that the UN-Charter holds the instruments of diplomacy to end wars and conflicts - in Ukraine, the Middle East and Africa.We will continue to work on this joint goal.
