Congratulations to the newly elected members of the #UNSC, especially to #Austria & #Portugal. I am convinced they will work to advance peace & security for the benefit of the global community. Germany will stay committed to peace & security worldwide & to a UN capable of action.
"We have a lot of countries around the region where we engage in different dimensions of cooperation, and we want to deepen that" ๐ฉ๐ช's Deputy Defense Minister Schmid on how ๐ฉ๐ช is strengthening security cooperation with the Indo-Pacific.

๐ฉ๐ช intends to step up its engagement & is running for a seat on the #UNSC, where the foundations for resolving many of the world's conflicts are laid. ๐ฉ๐ช is committed to engage & enters this election with confidence and a strong offer. @AussenMinDe in #NYC@UN (2/2)
The United Nations are our forum for peace. They might not be perfect, but they deserve our full support โ including with regards to reform processes. For there is no alternative to the @UN. @AussenMinDe in #NYC (1/2)
Today, we have imposed a โฌ200 million fine on Temu under the Digital Services Act, for failing to identify, analyse, and assess the systemic risks of illegal products being offered on its platform.

@UNPeacekeeping is facing a perfect storm. Budget cuts hitting $2B & troop deployments at a 25-year low are putting global security at risk. Germany is determined to strengthen UN Peacekeeping Missions worldwide and to move forward necessary reforms in the UN Security Council.
The COVID pandemic has taught us how important it is to act jointly against such outbreaks. The UN Central Emergency Response is indispensable in global humanitarian action to relieve suffering when people need it most. Proud that ๐ฉ๐ช remains one of its largest supporters.
We need to get ahead of this Ebola outbreak.
I am allocating up to $60 million from the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund to accelerate the response in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the wider region.ย

Russia hit a dead-end on the battlefield, so it terrorizes Ukraine with deliberate strikes on city centres.
These are abhorrent acts of terror meant to kill as many civilians as possible.
Moscow reportedly using Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missiles โ systems designed to carry nuclear warheads โ is a political scare-tactic and reckless nuclear-brinkmanship.
Next week, EU Foreign Ministers will discuss how to dial up the international pressure on Russia.
Germanyโs Basic Law (Grundgesetz) came into effect on May 23. Rising from the devastation of WWII, it laid the foundation for a new Federal Republic rooted in human dignity, democracy, and the rule of law. ๐๏ธ Together, we reflect on what it truly means to live in a free society.
"Our path as Europeans remains clear: we are committed to cooperation rather than confrontation, to partnerships, reliability, open trade, and the rule of law."

Diplomacy is more than handshakes. One year into office, the Federal Chancellor reviews how Germanyโs global partnerships strengthen security, support fair trade, and create new opportunities for growth.
Russiaโs war against Ukraine has outlasted the USSRโs fight against Nazi Germany. โฌ250bn is wasted each year with around 1.8m soldiers killed or wounded. Ukraine stands firm. Europe stands united. Russia must end its invasion and withdraw.
"The situation in the Middle East as is also on our agenda in Helsingborg. We are focusing our efforts on ensuring free passage for all ships and thus security of global supply chains. Germany is ready to participate in international efforts to secure the Strait of Hormuz." ๐งต4/4
๐ฌ@AussenMinDE "Last year in The Hague, we set the course for a strong NATO 3.0: we want a greater role for Europe, more robust deterrence, and closer cooperation between our defence industries in order to strengthen our defence capabilities." ๐งต1/4
"Ukraine is the greatest contributor to European security outside NATO. In Sweden, I intend to make concrete proposals on how we can further support Ukraine and also benefit from the achievements of Ukraineโs defence industry within the Alliance." ๐งต 3/4
Against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine and rising military expenditure, the German government has launched a new civil defense plan to ensure public safety and safeguard against potential hybrid threats in the future.

Strategic cooperation ๐ค
As global uncertainty grows, stronger partnerships matter more than ever. Germany and Brunei are deepening cooperation where it counts โ from energy security to resilient trade and defence collaboration.
Germany and #Brunei have great potential for even closer trade relations, especially in the defence and energy sectors โ @AussenMinDE in todayโs meeting with H. M. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. We highly appreciate Bruneiโs support in strengthening ๐ฉ๐ช & ๐ช๐บ ties with #ASEAN.
