G’day & welcome to Berlin, @SenatorWong. Today’s 2 2 meeting with @RichardMarlesMP & Boris Pistorius shows that Australia & 🇩🇪 are close partners shaping security together: from freedom of navigation to energy security. Thank you for your strong support for Ukraine. @AussenMinDE
Australia & Germany are particularly close partners - today’s 2 2 meeting of our foreign and defence ministers underlines that. Together, we want to shape security and therefore further strengthen our partnership. @AussenMinDE 1/4
Joint statement here: diplo.de/2774490
Freedom of navigation is indispensable for our security & prosperity - whether in the Indo-Pacific or the Strait of Hormuz. Disruptions there are felt by people around the world. That is why we will closely coordinate our efforts to ensure this freedom. @AussenMinDE 2/4
We support the efforts of the U.S. to achieve a diplomatic solution to the conflict with Iran. We expect Iran to use its influence over Hezbollah to stop this terrorist organisation from continuing its attacks on Israel from Lebanon. @AussenMinDE 3/4
Comprehensive sanctions against Russia, tank deliveries, nearly one billion euros in support for Ukraine, and participation in the PURL mechanism: we are deeply grateful to our Australian friends for their contribution to security in Europe. @AussenMinDE 4/4

Congratulations to the newly elected members of the #UNSC, especially to #Austria & #Portugal. I am convinced they will work to advance peace & security for the benefit of the global community. Germany will stay committed to peace & security worldwide & to a UN capable of action.

The United Nations are our forum for peace. They might not be perfect, but they deserve our full support – including with regards to reform processes. For there is no alternative to the @UN. @AussenMinDe in #NYC (1/2)
🇩🇪 intends to step up its engagement & is running for a seat on the #UNSC, where the foundations for resolving many of the world's conflicts are laid. 🇩🇪 is committed to engage & enters this election with confidence and a strong offer. @AussenMinDe in #NYC@UN (2/2)

Today is about listening to experts from #Ukraine. To learn from their experience, flexibility, perseverance & innovativeness. Because Ukraine has accumulated hard-earned expertise, which the #EU urgently needs to bolster its own resilience & energy security. @AussenMinDe (3/3)
Russia‘s threats to energy supply & energy security are not confined to Ukraine. Across #Europe, we are witnessing an increase in hybrid attacks on critical infrastructure, an emerging frontline of geopolitical confrontation. @AussenMinDe (2/3)
Putin is targeting energy infrastructure in #Ukraine every day. Ukraine is sucessfully resisting & adapting: Resilience in energy supply leads to resilience in society as a whole. @AussenMinDe at “Energy Security – Lessons from Ukraine”. Full speech: diplo.de/2772284 (1/3)
