The world today is not the same as 80 years ago. The #UN Security Council must reflect that. Africa, Asia & Latin America need to be represented accordingly - as does Germany, which bears major political & financial responsibility. Together with 🇧🇷, 🇮🇳 & 🇯🇵, we push for reform.

Germany is a strong & reliable partner for #peacebuilding. Conflicts & disagreements will always exist in our world. What brings us forward is dialogue, strong institutions & resilient societies. – @aussenminister.diplo.de chairing today’s session of the 🇺🇳 Peacebuilding Commission. #UNGA80

Russia's repeated violations of #NATO airspace are highly dangerous. NATO is strong and stands united. We will use all necessary means to defend Alliance territory and our security, and to counter threats from #Russia.

The #E3 & #EU urged #Iran to take practical steps within the next days, if not hours to address longstanding concerns around its nuclear program. These include resuming direct talks with the US & access to all Iranian nuclear sites for the IAEA, in line with its obligations. 1/2

As #E3, we are prepared to complete the snapback process if necessary, but that will not mark the end of our engagement. We will remain committed to finding a diplomatic solution to Iran’s nuclear program. 2/2

Russia’s ongoing aggression is not only directed against #Ukraine and its people. Rather, in its reckless behavior, Russia poses a serious danger to regional security, as well as to global peace and stability. #UNSC 1/2

#Ukraine is ready to engage and has repeatedly offered an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. Nonetheless Russia has repeatedly chosen not only to continue but to intensify its aggression. This must end. #UNSC 2/2

"Putin has long been testing boundaries — sabotaging, spying, murdering, sowing insecurity. Russia seeks to gradually destabilize our free societies. We will not allow this — neither externally nor internally. It is imperative to strengthen our resilience & defense capabilities." (🇩🇪 Chancellor Merz)

Today, the #E3 Foreign Ministers and the #EU High Representative initiated a call with their Iranian counterpart to continue diplomatic efforts. They underscored that #Iran has yet to take the reasonable and precise actions necessary to reach an extension of resolution 2231. (1/2)

Iran has to restart negotiations, allow inspections on sensitive sites & address its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. The E3 reiterated the urgency and their determination to move ahead with the reimposition of sanctions absent concrete actions in the coming days. (2/2)
