Germany’s path to reunification is its own, but questions of democracy, freedom & self-determination resonate across borders.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping economies. But who controls the technology? 🤖🌍

Germany’s 🇩🇪 open-source #AI model Soofi S offers an alternative: more choice, more control & more #DigitalSovereignty, as African countries build their own AI capabilities.

#Estonia has our full solidarity. Russia's reckless acts of hostility will not divide us. They only strengthen our resolve to reinforce @NATO deterrence and support #Ukraine.

One week & almost every global crisis in the same room. At #UNGA81, the world comes together to negotiate & move things forward. Behind podiums & handshakes are decisions that can shape conflict, trade & international cooperation.
Here are 4️⃣ points 🇩🇪 advocates for. ➡️

[GermanForeignOffice @GermanyDiplo]

Insecurity & instability in the Sahel affect people across the region, neighboring states, partners in West Africa and Europe. To rebuild trust, renew dialogue & seek joint responses to the crisis, the Foreign Ministers of 🇩🇪, 🇮🇹 & 🇨🇭 met with their counterparts from 🇧🇫, 🇲🇱 & 🇳🇪.

🎉 53 years ago, Germany joined the @UN​, a major step back into the international community.

Today, 🇩🇪 is one of the UN's largest contributors, participates in peacekeeping missions, incl. #SouthSudan & works with partners like #Namibia on the #PactForTheFuture.
