Welcome to Berlin, dear Tone Kajzer! 🇩🇪🤝🇸🇮 Europe grows stronger when we act together - by advancing EU enlargement, taking greater responsibility for our own security and standing united with Ukraine. In challenging times, close partners like Slovenia make all the difference.
Thank you to our #NATO Ally Türkiye for hosting this summit at a pivotal moment for our Alliance. As we continue our support for Ukraine & navigate crises in the Middle East, Germany remains firmly committed to strengthening our security & defence cooperation & economic ties.
Unity, solidarity and collective strength remain the foundation of peace, security, and prosperity across the entire Alliance: Read the full NATO Ankara Summit Declaration here: www.nato.int/en/about-us/...
75 years of 🇩🇪🇨🇦 relations – regular & closest ties across the Atlantic – within the G7, in NATO & bilaterally. The decision to accept the German-Norwegian submarine proposal will be a further pillar of our security and deep bond. Thank you, Anita Anand, for your friendship.
Good to see you, Secretary Rubio. Our frequent exchanges - including in Washington last week - reflect the strength of transatlantic coordination. 🇩🇪 alone has 380+ armaments projects with 🇺🇸, worth around $33bn. Together as NATO allies, we’re strengthening our defense industrial base.
Yad Vashem preserves and digitises survivor testimonies and historical records, making them accessible to the public. Confronting distortion and denial of the #Holocaust remains both a duty and a responsibility for my country. 1/2 @aussenminister.diplo.de

The transatlantic partnership is indispensable - that was clearly reaffirmed in my meeting with Marco Rubio in #Washington. As the 🇺🇸 marks 250 years of independence this week, we are reminded of what binds our countries together: freedom and democracy. @aussenminister.diplo.de 1/6
Die transatlantische Partnerschaft ist unverzichtbar – das hat mein Gespräch in #Washington mit Marco Rubio deutlich gezeigt. Die 250 Jahre Unabhängigkeit der 🇺🇸 sind für uns Anlass, daran zu erinnern, was unsere Länder verbindet: Freiheit und Demokratie. @aussenminister.diplo.de 1/6

Looking out over the #BalticSea from #Kiel with my 🇪🇪 counterpart Margus Tsahkna, its strategic importance is unmistakable. So is our resolve. Together, we are stepping up #NATO cooperation, countering #Russia’s hybrid threats. Solidarity & trust are our best defence.
With 🇷🇴 Oana Țoiu, I fully agree: the Baltic Sea & Black Sea are strategic hotspots for countering Russian threats. Germany & Romania are continuing to expand their defence cooperation. Together, we are increasing the pressure on Moscow and supporting Ukraine wholeheartedly. @aussenminister.diplo.de
Mit 🇷🇴 blicken wir auf Ostsee & Schwarzes Meer als strategische Hotspots gegen russische Bedrohungen. Deshalb bauen Deutschland & Rumänien ihre Rüstungszusammenarbeit weiter aus. Wir erhöhen den Druck auf Moskau & unterstützen die Ukraine mit aller Kraft.
Against the bracing Baltic backdrop in #Kiel, it’s good to meet 🇮🇸Foreign Minister Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir. #Iceland remains an essential anchor for maritime security in the North Atlantic. As we look to the NATO summit, unity must be our strongest message & support for Ukraine must not waver.
The Baltic Sea has become a geopolitical hotspot. Our response: Increased investment in joint defence. As a result, #Russia faces a significantly stronger #NATO in the region today than just a few years ago. #Kiel Security Conference @aussenminister.diplo.de (1/3)
Dear @radek-sikorski.bsky.social, as the proverb goes, “a close neighbor is better than a distant brother.” I couldn’t agree more. Great to have you in Berlin today to celebrate German-Polish friendship in a united Europe. Let’s live up to this spirit - and build a stronger Europe from here.
Drogi @radek-sikorski.bsky.social, jak mówi przysłowie: „Lepiej mieć bliskiego sąsiada niż dalekiego brata”. W pełni się z tym zgadzam. Cieszę się, że jesteś dziś z nami w Berlinie, by świętować 🇵🇱-🇩🇪 przyjaźń w zjednoczonej 🇪🇺. Postarajmy się być wierni temu duchowi – i budujmy silniejszą Europę.
