Thank you @AussenMinDE Dr. Johann Wadephul for your visit to Canada! It was very good to see 🇨🇦 high on 🇩🇪‘s agenda, working hand in hand towards an even closer and broader strategic partnership!
Thank you, merci beaucoup @AnitaAnandMP for hosting me in the 75th year of 🇨🇦-🇩🇪 diplomatic relations. In challenging times, our partnership is based on trust and shared values - and we are taking it to the next level, from defence to critical raw materials & future technologies.
We are establishing a truly strategic partnership with 🇨🇦, with ever closer German-Canadian defence ties at the heart. Opportunities to strengthen our mil-mil & defence industry cooperation were high on the agenda of today’s meeting between @AussenMinDE & @DavidMcGuinty.
A few impressions from last night’s 🇩🇪 unity day festivities. We were thrilled to have @AnitaAnandMP and @AussenMinDE with us, celebrating 75 years of 🇩🇪🇨🇦 diplomatic relations! Thanks to all our guests for celebrating with us.
Security & trust are at the heart of every partnership. I am delighted, therefore, that the 🇩🇪🇨🇦 General Security of Information Agreement was signed today. We can now share sensitive information, including intelligence, much easier. Good news for our submarine cooperation!
🇨🇦’s decision to procure state-of-the-art submarines is far more than a major contract for 🇩🇪 business. 🇨🇦🇳🇴🇩🇪 defence industries are growing closer, creating jobs & an interoperable submarine fleet will make northern waters safer together. 2/3
We are witnessing major international changes. Certainties are fading, old dependencies are becoming new vulnerabilities. All the more important to know who you can rely on. 🇩🇪 can rely on 🇨🇦 – and 🇨🇦 on 🇩🇪 – @AussenMinDE in #Ottawa 1/3
