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.

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.

The UN was created for moments like this, when a challenge is too large for any one nation to address alone, risks must be managed to protect people worldwide, and opportunities should benefit all member states. My full speech at #UNGA81 ➡️

Artificial Intelligence seemingly has unlimited power. In the wrong hands, it can upend our economies and threaten our livelihoods. That is why Germany calls on UN member states to work towards common safety requirements for the most capable AI models.

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.
