Germany is fortunate to count Panama as a global partner – a privilege in times of crisis & conflict. Together, we stand for multilateralism&free trade based on reliable rules. Thank you for 🇵🇦’s support in de-flagging Russian shadow fleet vessels, dear President @JoseRaulMulino.

Un gusto verte, dear @javierachapma! I welcome 🇵🇦’s commitment to freedom of navigation & responsible management of the #PanamaCanal. We want to foster cooperation on infrastructure&critical minerals. The EU’s decision to delist 🇵🇦 as a tax haven is a crucial sign for investors.

Deeply saddened by the terrible train accident in #Spain. My deepest condolences to @jmalbares and the people of Spain. My thoughts and my prayers are with the victims, their loved ones and all those affected, as well as with the rescue teams working tirelessly at the scene.

A special moment during today’s visit: thank you, President @RTErdogan, for welcoming European and regional foreign ministers to the historic Dolmabahçe Palace. We greatly appreciate Türkiye’s warm hospitality as we come together to explore ways to resolve protracted conflicts.

Our goal is to find an “entry point to the exit” from these protracted conflicts. There is no easy fix: we are ready to explore new diplomatic approaches and thus contribute to restoring stability & freedom of navigation. 2/3

Also in the #BlackSea, where Russia’s attacks on grain shipments threaten food security, we are determined to explore ways to help ensure grain reaches those in need. Today’s meeting was a good start - I look forward to hosting our partners in 🇩🇪 to continue this dialogue. 3/3

Bem-vindo a Berlim, @PauloRangel_pt! It’s great to welcome such a close friend & partner. #Portugal is a strong European voice, building much-needed trust globally, e.g. in Africa and Latin America. With #Lufthansa’s stake in #TAP, our global ties will expand even further! 🇩🇪🤝🇵🇹

Vielen Dank für den herzlichen Empfang in Berlin, @JoWadephul! Black Sea security is European security. Grateful to the solidarity expressed by Germany regarding the recent attacks on trade ships in our exclusive economic area. Bulgaria is committed to working towards a ceasefire for merchant shipping in the Black Sea together with our partners. Stronger and more resilient Europe is a shared goal. Germany’s economic and industrial strength makes it an important partner in this mission. To achieve this we need better diversification of supplies. In spring 2027, Bulgaria hosts the Regional Connectivity Summit focused on the Middle Corridor and links to the Gulf. This is a key step in building our economic leverage. 🇧🇬🇩🇪 Bulgaria and Germany are strategic partners, with considerable potential to deepen cooperation in research, digital innovation and defence. Several major projects are already underway and we must keep the momentum.

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

I condemn the appalling attacks on merchant vessels in the #BlackSea. They are an attack on international shipping & on global food security, depriving the most vulnerable of much-needed supplies. Our thoughts are with the victims - and our solidarity with our ally #Bulgaria 🇧🇬

#Armenia 🇦🇲 can rely on Germany 🇩🇪 as it strengthens its ties with the #EU🇪🇺. I agree with @AraratMirzoyan, 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. 🇩🇪🤝🇺🇦

Ich verurteile den schweren #Huthi-Angriff auf den Flughafen #Riad scharf - ein Terrorakt gegen #SaudiArabien & die zivile Luftfahrt. Unsere Gedanken sind bei den Opfern, den Angehörigen gilt mein tiefes Beileid. Dies habe ich auch meinem 🇸🇦 Kollegen @FaisalbinFarhan ausgedrückt.

It was a pleasure to meet Prime Minister @JJansaSDS 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 @TKajzer: 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.

I was honoured to meet the Holy See’s Secretary of State, Pietro Parolin, today. 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.
