Danke für den guten Austausch, @badralbusaidi! 🇦🇹🤝🇴🇲
Im Mittelpunkt standen die aktuelle Lage im Nahen Osten, die Freiheit der Schifffahrt in der Straße von Hormus und unsere gemeinsamen Bemühungen für Deeskalation und Stabilität. Gerade in angespannten Zeiten müssen wir Gesprächskanäle offenhalten und auf Diplomatie setzen. #UNGA81

Can peace last without Justice?

Today, we mark the Day of International Criminal Justice. The @IntlCrimCourt holds perpetrators of the gravest crimes accountable.

The EU is firmly committed to the Rome Statute and the fight against impunity.

A productive exchange between H.E. Christophe Ceska, Ms. Hajir Abubakr, Representative of the Austrian Commercial Office, and the Arabian Research Bureau team as they explored new avenues for cooperation and greater Austrian participation in COMEX, GEDEX, and Oman Climate Week.

Danke für das gute, offene Gespräch in Washington @secrubio. Österreich und die USA verbindet eine enge Partnerschaft, gerade in Sicherheit und Wirtschaft.
Wir haben ausführlich über die Kriege in der Ukraine und im Iran gesprochen: In beiden Fällen kann nur Diplomatie aus der Eskalation führen, und Wien steht bereit, wenn es wieder an den Verhandlungstisch geht.
Unsere gute Beziehung macht auch möglich, dass wir unterschiedliche Standpunkte offen diskutieren, etwa zur Zollpolitik. Dieser Besuch war zugleich ein wichtiger Schritt für unsere Vorbereitung auf Österreichs Sitz im UN-Sicherheitsrat ab 2027.

The new EU Delegation in Muscat is a tangible sign of our growing partnership with Oman.

At a time of heightened regional tensions, the EU and Oman will continue working together to advance dialogue, de-escalation and support safe and secure navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and beyond, in line with international law.
