The security of Asia and Europe is closely intertwined. Free movement of goods in the Taiwan Strait is important for prosperity in Europe and worldwide. An escalation there would also affect us. Any change to the status quo must be non-violent and consensual. @aussenminister.diplo.de

Putin can only continue his brutal war of aggression against Ukraine because he can rely on support from third parties, including China. We expect China to use its influence on Russia to ensure a lasting peace for Ukraine. @aussenminister.diplo.de

Economic issues were a key matter on the agenda. We need open markets and free trade. Competition must be fair and based on rules. Market distortions and export restrictions are not in our interest and harm our economy. @aussenminister.diplo.de

The German government adopted the #BBNJ ratification laws. We will be happy to join the first Ocean COP. Together with partners from Africa, South America and Asia, we are already working towards designating the first marine protected areas beyond national jurisdiction.

Every child has the right to live and grow up in peace. The suffering caused by Russia’s abductions of Ukrainian children is a humanitarian emergency. Germany voted yes on the resolution on the return of Ukrainian children.
