Soenke Siemon

Guten Tag & Mulibwanji! It is an honor to have arrived in such a welcoming country. I look forward to beginning my journey as the new German Ambassador to Zambia. I can't wait to meet many of you in the coming months & build lasting friendships! Your Soenke Siemon #GerZam 🇩🇪🇿🇲

This is it... My time in #Zambia comes to an end. Five remarkable years (even at the very end), full of positive experiences and encounters - though some frustrations as well. I leave full of humility and appreciation. Zambia #kuChalo! 🇩🇪 🇿🇲

Today, I signed the book of condolences for H.E. former President #Lungu, sixth Head of State of the Republic of #Zambia. I wish for this wonderful country unity and peace during this time of mourning and reflection.

My sincere condolences to the people of #Zambia. When presenting my credentials to H.E. Pres. #Lungu in 2020, I witnessed his humble demeanor which connected him with ordinary Zambians. The 2021 peaceful transition of power underlined his place in 🇿🇲 democratic traditions. MHRIP

Happy #EuropeDay 2025! This year we celebrate 🥳 50 years of our partnership with Zambia 🇿🇲! A mature and strong partnership! To many more years ahead 🥂!

Kick-off of #floorball in #Zambia! Kudos to Jakob, one of our 🇩🇪 #Weltwaerts volunteers, who had raised funds & organised equipment in Germany so that kids in #Zambia can play this fun, fast-paced form of floor hockey. And kudos to these talented young players!

Following 🇩🇪's elections in February, yesterday, Friedrich #Merz was sworn in as #Germany's new Chancellor. And @JoWadephul took over from Annalena #Baerbock as Federal Foreign Minister. 👇 I'm proud of the professional and collegial nature of transfers of power in Germany.

The President continues to champion the agenda to bring about energy sufficiency and surplus as he welcomed a delegation from the German Embassy, KfW, and the GETFIT Secretariat.

Through Cholera, COVID, and our worst drought ever, the @EUinZambia stood with Zambia. As global geopolitics shifts, we appreciate our partners more than ever. We welcome investment in energy, critical minerals & tourism, among others, to grow our economy and create jobs. HH

#TeamEurope in the morning, #TeamGermany in the afternoon at State House: Two comprehensive interactions today with HE President @HHichilema. Among the issues: #Germany's support to bring more private sector investment into #Zambia's energy sector. 🇪🇺 🇿🇲 🇩🇪

#TeamEurope and #Zambia reaffirmed their strong relationship, based on shared values and common interests, during today's EU-Zambia Partnership Dialogue. #Germany is proud to be a pillar of this partnership! 🇿🇲 🇪🇺 🇩🇪

"The long road" to better transport infrastructure in #Zambia. Friday afternoon, driving back from the ##AgriTechExpo2025 to Lusaka. 63 km. Three hours. 4 "lanes", desperately waiting for the dual carriageway.

"Where #Agriculture meets #Innovation" Touring the #AgriTechExpo2025 with Hon. Reuben Mtolo, Minister of Agriculture. Many 🇩🇪 exhibitors on site, ready to partner with #Zambia! #GerZam

Have a great time in Germany 🇩🇪! Another courageous and enthusiastic cohort of #Weltwärts volunteers from #Zambia has departed to Germany. Keep us updated on how it's going! #GerZam
