Talking about UN peacekeeping: Honored to meet General Mohan Subramian, UNMISS 🇺🇳 Force Commander in #SouthSudan and his team, together with our Ambassador Christian Sedat in Berlin today, in the margins of the UN Peacekeeping #PKMinisterial .
High-ranking guests at the Peacekeeping #PKMinisterial in Berlin: A distinct privilege to receive Charles Richard Mondjo, Defence Minister of the Republic of Congo, in my office today, to discuss bilateral and regional issues, including Libya where Brazzaville chairs the High-Level C’tee of the AU.
During the #PKMinisterial in Berlin, Germany announced pledges worth > $90 M. Germany remains engaged in 5 peacekeeping missions with police officers, civilian experts and military personnel. Germany is determined to strengthen UN #peacekeeping missions worldwide.
At the #PKMinisterial, I noticed a lot of consensus that changes and reforms are needed. We need to step up as a global community - financially & logistically. We need more troop contributors and we need more effective missions. @aussenminister.diplo.de 3/3
The timing of the #PKMinisterial could not have been better. The current conflicts and crises around the world are a daily reminder that we must not take #peace and #security for granted. As the international community, we have to work hard for both time and again. @aussenminister.diplo.de 1/3
At today’s #PKMinisterial breakout session on "Protecting the Vulnerable, Securing Trust: Achieving More Responsive and Accountable Peace Operations," IPI contributed to the discussion by underscoring the central role of civilian protection in the future of peacekeeping.
Ich habe beim #PKMinisterial große Einigkeit wahrgenommen, dass es Veränderungen und Reformen braucht. Wir müssen als Weltgemeinschaft anpacken – finanziell & logistisch. Wir brauchen mehr Truppensteller und wir brauchen Missionen, die besser wirken. @aussenminister.diplo.de 3/3
Das Timing des #PKMinisterial hätte kaum besser sein können. Die aktuellen Konflikte und Krisen auf der Welt zeigen uns jeden Tag, dass #Frieden und #Sicherheit nicht vom Himmel fallen. Als Weltgemeinschaft müssen immer wieder neu dafür einstehen. @aussenminister.diplo.de 1/3
