While some believe in the law of the strongest, the Two Plus Four Agreement trusted in the strength of law – and paved the way for German unity 35 years ago. What does freedom mean to you? Share your thoughts! #WeInvestInFreedom

🌿🎶 Musik in the Garten began as a laid-back picnic with tunes and friends—but as the sun set, it turned into a bit of a dance floor at the Ambassadors’ residence. From blankets to dance moves, an evening to remember! Thank you, Ottawa, for spending time with us! 🎵🔥 @germanambcanada.bsky.social

Very moving for me to be able to hand over the certificate of 🇩🇪 nationality to three generations of one family whose citizenship was revoked by the Nazi regime in the 1930s. It was a privilege and a pleasure to be part of this moment. #NeverForget

A moment of return. At the German Embassy in Ottawa, we marked the restoration of citizenship to three generations of one family—revoked under Nazi rule. A solemn act of justice, recognition, and continuity. Germany remembers. 🇩🇪 #NeverForget

Had the chance to meet Yukon’s Premier Ranj Pillai on his last day in office while visiting the Haa Shagóon Hidi Cultural Centre in Carcross - it has been very inspiring to listen to the Tagish First Nation’s voices, learn about their culture and their values!

E3 leaders' statement on the situation in the Middle East 👉 www.bundesregierung.de/breg-de/aktu...

An Iranian nuclear bomb is a serious threat to Israel, the region, and Europe. #Iran must now demonstrate readiness to engage in talks with the US. 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇬🇧 stand ready to support a negotiated solution. @aussenminister.diplo.de 1/2

Germany stands firmly with its partners. Military action is one thing, but a sustainable solution can only be achieved diplomatically. Together with the US and our European partners, we are fully committed to finding a lasting resolution. @aussenminister.diplo.de 2/2

First time in #Yellowknife, NWT on the #Northerntour2025 - very nice to meet Mayor Ben Hendriksen with my colleagues from 🇦🇷 and 🇱🇺 and to see the “oldest rock on earth” in the Prince of Wales National Heritage Center!

C’était un grand plaisir de visiter le musée de l’Holocauste à Montréal aujourd’hui et de discuter l'enseignement de l'Holocauste et de sa mémoire autant que le combat contre l’antisémitisme avec l’équipe formidable du musée. Un grand merci pour me recevoir!

In order to move to serious negotiations (and not just the presentation of maximalist position papers aka ‘memorandum’) there is no other way but to increase the pressure on Russia.
