Peacekeepers are #NotATarget – their safety and security must be ensured at all times. Those responsible must be held accountable. #Hezbollah must lay down its arms. 2/2

We strongly condemn the attack on a #UNIFIL patrol that killed a French soldier and wounded three others. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends of the fallen soldier. 1/2

Thanks to the troops of the 18th rotation of Multinational Battlegroup 🇱🇹 & 41st Armoured Infantry Brigade. Their determination, strength, and unwavering commitment to defending our Alliance are indispensable. It was an honour to speak to them today in Neubrandenburg. @aussenminister.diplo.de 4/4

Our presence in the #Baltic region is a necessary and appropriate response to a real threat posed by #Russia. We remain firmly anchored in #NATO. We are working to redistribute the burden and to take on even greater responsibility for our own security. @aussenminister.diplo.de 3/4

#Putin tests our resolve every single day. He seeks to damage our 🇪🇺 democracies. He wants to break our support for #Ukraine – and spread fear. Not least by making completely unacceptable threats against 🇩🇪. For us, one thing is clear: we will not be intimidated. @aussenminister.diplo.de 2/4

#Russia is repeatedly testing NATO – also with actions below the threshold of an armed attack, including drone incursions into the Baltic region, provocations in the #BalticSea, and state-controlled disinformation aimed at weakening our societal cohesion. @aussenminister.diplo.de 1/4

@aussenminister.diplo.de Wadephul: “We welcome the ten-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon announced by US President Trump. It can give people on both sides of the border an important respite.” Full statement 👉 www.diplo.de/2768008

To tackle the humanitarian crisis and stabilize the region, Germany has already provided around €200 million in 2026. We support Jordan’s humanitarian initiative for #Lebanon via World Food Programme. 2/2

@aussenminister.diplo.de Wadephul welcomed Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi to Berlin yesterday evening. Jordan is an important and trusted partner in the region. Germany and Jordan aim to stabilize #Lebanon together and ease the suffering of the internally displaced. 1/2

At the New Königswinter Future Lab of the German-British Society we want to look ahead and listen to the younger generation. We need your openness. We need your curiosity, ideas and creativity. Because the challenges we face will not get easier or fewer. @aussenminister.diplo.de 5/5

Treaties do not create partnerships, people do. That’s why we are planning a direct rail connection between Germany and the UK and visa-free school trips. In March, we held our first German-British Youth Summit. @aussenminister.diplo.de 4/5

The #Kensington Treaty provides a new structured framework for our bilateral partnership. It outlines priority projects at the economic and political level but also for civil society – all aiming to deliver tangible benefits for the citizens of both countries. @aussenminister.diplo.de 3/5

Europe’s fundamental interests and values can be far better protected and strengthened together with the United Kingdom. The #UK is a key partner in defending our European security and in supporting #Ukraine. @aussenminister.diplo.de 2/5

🇩🇪&🇬🇧 are facing the same monumental challenges. The international order is eroding before our eyes – economically, politically and militarily. No country can tackle these challenges alone. @aussenminister.diplo.de at New Königswinter Future Lab with Yvette Cooper diplo.de/2767786 1/5

Warm welcome, Yvette Cooper, to the New Königswinter Future Lab. Whether on Iran, Russia’s war against Ukraine or Sudan — we stand together as close friends, as trusting partners, as strong allies. The #Kensington Treaty will continue to intensify our excellent cooperation.

Good to see you, Mark.

Thanks for your great service to our #NATO alliance. Russia’s war against #Ukraine remains Europe’s greatest security threat. Together, we stand ready to take on more responsibility & advance transatlantic burden shifting to #Europe.

Unity is our strength.

Every single day for the past three years, the people in #Sudan have been suffering from the horrors of war. UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk & l agree: those responsible for atrocities must be held to account. 🇩🇪 is supporting the UN Fact-Finding Mission. -
@aussenminister.diplo.de

The guns in #Sudan will fall silent only if and when the conflict parties abandon the logic of military confrontation & return to the negotiating table. I spoke with PESG Haavisto about the #UN's mediation efforts. - @aussenminister.diplo.de

The #AfricanUnion is a key partner for us. That is why AU-Chairperson Youssouf & I launched a strategic dialogue during my visit to #Addis in January. The AU's role in the peace efforts in #Sudan is crucial. - @aussenminister.diplo.de

Two-thirds of the people in #Sudan are in dire need of humanitarian assistance. UN Relief Chief Fletcher & I spoke about how to urgently meet these needs. The #SudanConference in Berlin will make a significant contribution to collective relief efforts. - @aussenminister.diplo.de

To support internally displaced people, Germany provided an additional €45 million in humanitarian assistance in March, making us the largest humanitarian donor to the people in Lebanon. – @aussenminister.diplo.de in yesterday’s call with Youssef Raggi 3/3

Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel must stop. We support Lebanon’s monopoly on the use of force across its entire territory and Hezbollah’s disarmament. At the same time, it is essential that the Israeli army protect civilians and civilian infrastructure. – @aussenminister.diplo.de 2/3

Direct talks between Israel and Lebanon can be an important first step towards a future where both Israel’s legitimate security interests and Lebanon’s right to territorial integrity and sovereignty are respected. – @aussenminister.diplo.de in yesterday’s call with Youssef Raggi 1/3

Germany and China both want to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. We agree that individual countries may not control shipping lanes or impose tolls for passage. 3/3

For decades, #Iran has acted hostilely towards its neighbours and endangered peace and security with its #missile and #nuclear programmes. #China can use its influence on Iran constructively for a negotiated solution and a cessation of hostilities against the Gulf states. 2/3

In this difficult global situation, German-Chinese relations & exchange remain crucial. We share concerns about the situation in the Middle East, the aim to end this conflict swiftly & commitment to freedom & security of shipping. @aussenminister.diplo.de during a phone call with Wang Yi 1/3

Achieving a just peace for the people of Ukraine remains Germany’s priority number one. It was good to see you again, President Zelenskyy.

This day will always remain a day of mourning, a day to remember the victims of Russia’s aggression. But it should also be a day of inspiration for us all. For the support of Ukraine & for Europe. (7/7)

Germany remains the largest European supporter of Ukraine – in military aid alone, we have provided or committed 55 billion euros since 2022. In terms of civilian aid, a further 39 billion euros have been provided. (6/7)
