Bem-vindo a Berlim, Paulo Rangel! It’s great to welcome such a close friend & partner. #Portugal is a strong European voice, building much-needed trust globally, e.g. in Africa and Latin America. With #Lufthansa’s stake in #TAP, our global ties will expand even further! 🇩🇪🤝🇵🇹

Johann Wadephul@aussenminister.diplo.de

I condemn the appalling attacks on merchant vessels in the #BlackSea. They are an attack on international shipping & on global food security, depriving the most vulnerable of much-needed supplies. Our thoughts are with the victims - and our solidarity with our ally #Bulgaria 🇧🇬

🇩🇪🤝🇦🇲

Johann Wadephul@aussenminister.diplo.de

#Armenia 🇦🇲 can rely on Germany 🇩🇪 as it strengthens its ties with the #EU🇪🇺. I agree with Ararat Mirzoyan, at #WSF2026: progress towards peace with #Azerbaijan & the swift opening of the border with #Türkiye are key to regional stability.

🇺🇦

Johann Wadephul@aussenminister.diplo.de

Recent events & attacks have only increased our 🇪🇺 resolve to support #Ukraine in its defence! At #WSF2026 in #Warsaw, my friend Andrii Sybiha & I discussed ways forward. It’s time to increase pressure on Russia & the #EU has delivered with sweeping sanctions on #Russia. 🇩🇪🤝🇺🇦

@aussenminister.diplo.de Wadephul at today’s foreign minister meeting of the #BerlinProcess: „Twelve years ago, Germany initiated the Berlin Process with a simple idea: to foster reconciliation & bring the Western Balkans closer together - and, eventually, into the EU.“ 1/3

We want the Western Balkan states firmly anchored in the EU. Germany stands firmly behind their European future. I am grateful that Commissioner @MartaKosEU has expressed the 🇪🇺 Commission‘s support for the #BerlinProcess, going hand-in-hand with the enlargement process 2/3

The countries of the region must deliver on reforms & confront the past with honesty. Above all, respect for the victims is key to a joint 🇪🇺 future of the Western Balkans. At the same time, the #EU must deliver on a credible perspective for accession.“ 3/3

@aussenminister.diplo.de prior to his departure to 🇲🇪🇮🇹🇻🇦🇸🇮: „EU enlargement in the Western Balkans is a test for Europe. It will determine what influence the EU will have in the coming decades.“ Complete statement: www.diplo.de/2804346

The United Nations stands for the commitment to peace, the principle of sovereign equality of all states and the dignity inherent in every human being. The erosion of international law jeopardises the enormous civilisational progress that the UN stands for.

Johann Wadephul@aussenminister.diplo.de

Thank you, dear Antonio Guterres, for leading the UN through rough waters over the past almost 10 years. We agree that the UN-Charter holds the instruments of diplomacy to end wars and conflicts - in Ukraine, the Middle East and Africa.We will continue to work on this joint goal.

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 🇩🇪 – @aussenminister.diplo.de in #Ottawa 1/3

🇨🇦’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

The resilience of our supply chains is also key. 🇨🇦 has vast resources & expertise in critical raw materials and energy. 🇩🇪 brings industrial strength, technology and investment. There is great potential for cooperation here. @aussenminister.diplo.de 3/3

Germany & Oman 🇴🇲 share the same goal: #Hormuz must be open to free navigation, without controls or fees. We appreciate #Oman‘s constructive role toward a peaceful resolution of this conflict - @aussenminister.diplo.de with FM Badr bin Hamad al-Busaidi #UNGA81.

Peacebuilding is most effective when it is rooted in local realities, driven by national stakeholders & supported by the international community. As largest supporter of UN Peacebuilding, Germany has proven that investing in peace is worth it. - @aussenminister.diplo.de at #UNGA81

Let us finally escape this spiral of destruction and violence. Three steps are needed: A full and immediate ceasefire, starting in the Black Sea, to secure the vital flow of grain and food. A comprehensive exchange of prisoners of war. A return to negotiations in good faith. 2/3

Ukraine has been ready for negotiations for a long time. But Russia continues to refuse – failing to live up to its responsibility as a permanent member of the Security Council. Ukraine is ready. Germany is ready to contribute to a peaceful outcome. ➡️ 3/3
