The Black Sea must not become a warzone. Attacks on civilian ships in Bulgaria’s waters and elsewhere are unacceptable. #Bulgaria can count on Germany’s solidarity as we work to protect our shared security. Thank you, dear Velislava, for your visit & for the friendship between our countries.

#Armenia 🇦🇲 can rely on Germany 🇩🇪 as it strengthens its ties with the #EU🇪🇺. I agree with Ararat Mirzoyan, at #WSF2026: progress towards peace with #Azerbaijan & the swift opening of the border with #Türkiye are key to regional stability.

Recent events & attacks have only increased our 🇪🇺 resolve to support #Ukraine in its defence! At #WSF2026 in #Warsaw, my friend Andrii Sybiha & I discussed ways forward. It’s time to increase pressure on Russia & the #EU has delivered with sweeping sanctions on #Russia. 🇩🇪🤝🇺🇦

It was a pleasure to meet Prime Minister Janez Janša during my visit to #Slovenia. Germany & Slovenia are trusted #EU partners - we appreciate Slovenia‘s role as a bridge between Central & Southeastern Europe - and our deep economic ties, e.g. in the automotive industry.

Yesterday we met in #Montenegro, today you hosted me in #Slovenia 🇸🇮 - thank you for the friendly exchange and coordination, dear Tone Kajzer: the #EU enlargement on the Western Balkans is our joint priority, just as the promotion of competitive European industries.

Grateful for your commitment to put an end to Russia‘s war against #Ukraine, dear Archbishop Gallagher. The Holy See has condemned Russia‘s war. Your voice carries weight, especially in the Global South, where Russia recruits its soldiers. We agreed: Russia has to negotiate now.

Johann Wadephul @aussenminister.diplo.de · 03/10/2026

I was honoured to meet the Holy See’s Secretary of State, Pietro Parolin. Germany is grateful for the Catholic Church’s work for peace, humanity, and compassion, which is more important than ever. We agreed that #AI has to be regulated well & always respect human dignity.

The United Nations stands for the commitment to peace, the principle of sovereign equality of all states and the dignity inherent in every human being. The erosion of international law jeopardises the enormous civilisational progress that the UN stands for.

Thank you, dear Antonio Guterres, for leading the UN through rough waters over the past almost 10 years. We agree that the UN-Charter holds the instruments of diplomacy to end wars and conflicts - in Ukraine, the Middle East and Africa.We will continue to work on this joint goal.

It was important and moving for me to meet with representatives of Jewish organisations in New York. I am worried about the rise in antisemitic rhetoric and attacks worldwide. Standing up for Jewish life is a lesson learnt from our history and a cornerstone of our democracy.

Thank you, my dear friend Dr. S. Jaishankar, for our good talks at #UNGA81. 🇩🇪 & #India are strong partners for multilateralism and peace & security, in the G4 & beyond. The situation in the Strait of Hormuz concerns us. Russia’s war in 🇺🇦 remains Europe‘s biggest security challenge.

Germany is committed to Lebanon’s sovereignty & territorial integrity and thus convinced: Hizbollah must be disarmed, Lebanon needs to exercise its state monopoly of power. We will continue to stand firmly by 🇱🇧, dear FM Youssef Raggi - also after the end of #UNIFIL.

Since the founding of the United Nations the world has changed profoundly - this needs to be reflected in its highest decision making body. Together with 🇮🇳, 🇧🇷, 🇯🇵 we strive for a more inclusive UN Security Council. Also voices from Africa need to be represented more appropriately.
