According to a UNESCO study, Germany remains the fourth most popular destination worldwide for international students. What is the reason for that ?👇 #NewsDE deutschland.de/en/news/german…

On 8 May, we remember the end of #WWII in #Europe and honour those who fought, suffered, and rebuilt in the pursuit of peace and freedom. 81 years later, the responsibility to protect democracy, unity, and human dignity remains as important as ever. #WeInvestInFreedom #NieWieder

The U.S. government has ordered the withdrawal of 5,000 troops from Germany. Why @bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz and Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul reacted calmly to the initial announcements of a partial withdrawal. 👇 #NewsDE @AussenMinDE deutschland.de/en/news/us-ord…

In my call with @araghchi, I emphasized: #Germany supports a negotiated solution. As a close ally of the #US, we share the same goal: #Iran must completely & verifiably renounce nuclear weapons & immediately open the Strait of #Hormuz, as also demanded by @SecRubio. @AussenMinDE

A free press is one of the most important prerequisites for a democracy. In Germany, this is protected by the Basic Law. Read more 👇 #FactsaboutGermany spkl.io/6016AfVFm

Violence has no place in a democracy. We decide by majorities, not by the gun. I condemn the attempted attack in Washington and am relieved that President Trump, First Lady Melania Trump and all those present are safe.

Yesterday in #Berlin 🇩🇪, 60+ countries united to say: enough. The crisis in #Sudan must end. Immediate aid, real paths to peace & a #democratic future are urgent. €1.49B mobilised—but solidarity must continue. Sudan’s people are not forgotten. 🕊️ @Germany_AU

I am deeply concerned about developments in the Palestinian territories. In my phone call with Prime Minister @netanyahu, I made it clear: There must be no de facto annexation of the West Bank.

Today’s meeting with @bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz was special and substantive. We focused specifically on how to make our efforts even more active and stronger. Before the bilateral talks, we saw seven types of drones produced at our joint enterprises – six aerial and one ground-based. This is a significant result of our cooperation, and it is important that there will be more. Today, we have new agreements on cooperation – ten in total – across the most important areas. I thank Germany. Germany is a key leader in supporting Ukraine and protecting lives – it is Germany that ranks number one in Europe in terms of assistance to our defense. We all see how geopolitical sentiments can shift and how much depends on Europe’s ability to stand up for itself – for its way of life and its values. Importantly, Germany remains strong, remains committed, and is truly capable of defending the interests of Europe and Europeans.

The Hungarian people have decided. My heartfelt congratulations on your electoral success, dear @magyarpeterMP. I am looking forward to working with you. Let’s join forces for a strong, secure and, above all, united Europe. Gratulálok, kedves Magyar Péter!
