E3 Leaders’ Statement on indiscriminate Iranian attacks on countries in the region ⬇️
The Iranian regime has destabilized an entire region through its proxies such as the Houthis, Hamas, or Hezbollah. Iran has contributed to Russia’s ability to continue its war of aggression against Ukraine. And Iran has brutally oppressed its own population. 1/3
This Iranian regime is a threat not only to Israel but also to other states and, not least, to Europe. I condemn in the strongest possible terms Iran’s attacks on all Gulf states. These attacks on uninvolved parties also endanger German nationals in the region. 2/3
In my conversations today, the foreign ministers of the region agreed: they advocate for a return to the negotiating table. Iran must finally understand that its nuclear program and its missile program must be halted. 3/3

Provisionally applying the EU #Mercosur agreement is the right thing to do. If the EU wants to be a geopolitical player, we have to implement trade agreements we have signed.
Today, Germany is Ukraine’s biggest supporter in civilian and military aid. Our support will remain steadfast and we will not waiver.
Good to be back CTV PowerPlay with VassyKapelos.
Proudly flying the Ukrainian flag at the embassy today.
We stand with you.
#StandWithUkraine️
4 years of bravery.
4 years of sacrifice.
4 years of unbreakable spirit.
4 years of defending freedom.
For us. For you. For #Ukraine. For Europe.
We 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇵🇱 stand behind you 🇺🇦 - as long as it takes.
I will never forget the night Russia’s unprovoked illegal invasion of Ukraine began. We had coordinated sanctions in the G7 for weeks. We had clear signs the invasion was to happen any day. Such suffering since. I pray this is the last 24/2 the brave 🇺🇦 have to fight for freedom.
“Pooling strengths. Securing supply chains. Promoting future technologies” – Ministers Reiche & @melaniejoly.bsky.social
agreed to deepen the 🇩🇪 🇨🇦 partnership in the automotive and mobility industries yesterday in Berlin.
The potential of 🇨🇦🇩🇪 defence cooperation is tremendous! Great pleasure to discuss with MPs Tim Watchorn and Chris Malette how to deepen the 🇩🇪🇨🇦🇩🇰 Maritime Security Partnership, the challenges we face to our common defence, 🇨🇦’s new Defence Industrial Strategy and what 🇩🇪 has to offer to implement it.
Honoured to speak today about 🇩🇪’s unwavering support for 🇺🇦 and the pathway to a just & lasting peace together with MPs Yvan Baker, James Bezan,
Martin Champoux, the Hon. David Collenette, my fellow Ambassadors from 🇺🇦 and 🇱🇹 and so many others. 🇩🇪 is Ukraine’s biggest supporter and we will stand by 🇺🇦.
Arctic security is front and center to defense! It was good to be back at #arctic360 and speak about 🇩🇪🇨🇦 initiative for NATO‘s Arctic Sentry, world class 🇩🇪 Arctic research and how 🇨🇦’s submarine decision will be the most consequential opportunity to align allied middle powers:

"This morning we received terrible news from Canada. The school shooting, which claimed numerous lives, has deeply shaken us. Our thoughts are with the people of Tumbler Ridge as they mourn their families, friends, and loved ones. I wish those who were injured a swift recovery."
Chancellor Merz
I am heartbroken by the devastating news from Tumbler Ridge. Our heartfelt condolences, Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social and Premier Dave Eby, to all British Columbians and Canadians. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.
🇺🇦 At #MSC2026, we'll present the Ewald von Kleist Award to the brave Ukrainian people—honoring their resolve to defend their and Europe's freedom and commemorating the many who have lost their lives or been injured.

Middle powers need to align on trade, energy & critical minerals. Great to welcome 🇩🇪 Economics Minister Katherina Reiche in #Ottawa. Day started with excellent meeting with Ministers LeBlanc @dleblancnb.bsky.social and Tim Hodgson!
Good to be back at Rideau Hall’s Winter Celebration. We were thrilled to warm the freezing crowds with apple cider and Bratwurst at -18! 🥶 And quizzing them on 🇩🇪 in the meantime … Thanks to all who helped today and withstood the cold!
Team 🇩🇪 in 🇨🇦! Great to have our consuls-general, honorary consuls, culture & language institutes, academic exchange services, trade chambers & investment agencies + political foundations together to discuss how to best serve Canadians and make the 🇩🇪🇨🇦 friendship even stronger!
75 Years 🇩🇪🫶🇨🇦.
Good to team up with great 🇨🇦 Ambassador Vera Alexander in Berlin via video!
Finally! My team and I already worked hard on that during my time as Political Director and prepared concrete decisions in this regard. Pity that it took so long (and so much more bloodshed) to convince others. Good that we now got to yes.
