These rights and fundamental are in serious peril. 1/2

Retweeted by GermanForeignOffice Bringing the gender perspective to the table changes things for the better. WPS must become part of our DNA as an alliance. Women, Peace & Security is not a nice-to-have but a security and defense necessity. - @ABaerbock at #NatoSummit 4/4
Gender based violence is used as a weapon of war, inflicting long lasting damage on societies. We see this in Ukraine. We support prosecution in order to hold perpetrators accountable. 3/4
Women’s rights are an indicator of the development and the stability of countries. Where women lose their rights, societies disintegrate.
And peace processes are more successful if gender perspectives are integrated. - @ABaerbock 2/4
Integrating the gender perspective and the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Agenda are at the center of #NATO s Strategic Concept. WPS is not a “soft issue” but hard security. - FM @ABaerbock with 🇪🇸 Defense Minister Margarita Robles an@irenefellinin a#NATOSummitiJq
NATO is a defense alliance, protecting the security of 1 bln. citizens on our territory. Security is more than diplomacy and military capabilities. Beyond the threat posed by Russia, we have to bolster against terrorism, cyber-attacks and the challenges of the climate crisis. 3/3
We counter Russia's attack on the European peace order by boldly strengthening our defense, especially on the eastern flank. And by making NATO fit for the future with the new #StrategicConcept, and by strengthening the Alliance by admitting #Finland and #Sweden. 2/3
For more than 70 years, #NATO has protected our security and our freedom. Now we are adapting to the new reality. Putin's war against Ukraine poses the greatest challenge since the end of the Cold War. We stand united. #NATOSummit #Madrid. 1/3
With its war against Ukraine, Russia has torn apart our peace order as we know it. In this new reality, our close partners and 🇪🇺 friend#Finlandnd an#Swedenen have chosen to joi#NATOTO. At today’#NatoSummitit we strongly say: We are there for you. 1/2

#Rwanda: @BioNTech_Group has started to build first production facility for mRNA-vaccines #madeinAfrica, South Africa + Senegal will follow. Important step to better prepare Africa for future pandemics.🇩🇪 supports vaccine production in Africa with € 530 million.
We are united to address the global food crisis in its complexity:
-in speeding up food exports from #Ukraine
-in stepping up humanitarian assistance
-in addressing underlying factors of vulnerability & the climate crisis
-in alleviating possible indirect effects of sanctions 3/3
It is Russia, not the G7 sanctions, who starve the world. However, we see that sanctions can have indirect effects and we are working hard to alleviate them. But those effects are minor compared to Russia’s brutal war, blocking of ports and obstruction of harvests. @ABaerbock 2/3
In March, 141 countries came together in New York, #UnitingForPeace. Today, in Berlin, we are #UnitingForFoodSecurity. We stand in solidarity with those most affected by the global food crisis. We will not let Russia starve the world. - FM @ABaerbock (1/3)

Together, we want to
➡️expedite food exports from Ukraine.

#UnitingForFoodSecurity (3/3)
2/3 We hear from many parts of the globe: "We don't have time to ask who is to blame. We want to see who is offering solutions." We are the ones who will have to provide these solutions. That is what the international conference #UnitingForFoodSecurity is about:
"Russia is waging an unprovoked war on Ukraine, Russia is using hunger as a weapon of war and taking the world hostage in the process" - FM @ABaerbock at a press conference on #UnitingForFoodSecurity today with @SvenjaSchulze69 and @cem_oezdemir @BMZ_Bund @bmel (1/3)
Welcome to Berlin, where the international community is #UnitingForFoodSecurity. Convened by Ministers @ABaerbock, @SvenjaSchulze68 and @cem_oezdemir, we will discuss solutions for the worst food crisis of our times. @BMZ_Bund @bmel
The UN agency @UNRWA ensures the survival of millions of #PalestineRefugees in the Middle East, by providing access to health care & food.

I’m deeply shocked and saddened by the terrible earthquake in #Afghanistan with over a thousand people killed and wounded. My thoughts are with the victims' families. Together with our international partners, we will provide humanitarian aid wherever we can.
Retweeted by GermanForeignOffice Living abroad gave me a perspective that has stayed with me and shaped how I see the world. It enriched my life and my work. I was glad to share my experiences with this year’s Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange program participants at the @StateDept today.
Retweeted by GermanForeignOffice Germany remains committed to the goal of a world without nuclear weapons. The standstill in global nuclear disarmament is concerning. 1/3

Retweeted by GermanForeignOffice Congrats to @PotzelMarkus on his appointment as DSRSG for Afghanistan. Markus has dedicated a remarkable career to helping improve the lives of the Afghan people and will be an outstanding advocate for them. Wishing you success for the challenges ahead. un.org/sg/en/content/…
Georgians’ continued aspirations to secure their rightful place in the EU family has made another leap forward possible today. And every step brings it closer to making it reality.
With today’s Opinion, #Georgia is firmly anchored on its EU path.
Retweeted by GermanForeignOffice And we must finally take next steps in the #WesternBalkans – because if we don‘t, Russia will. But it won't be enough to simply put more chairs in the circle in Brussels. It is time to continue building the #EU, including moving away from unanimity in the EU’s foreign policy. 3/3 twitter.com/ABaerbock/stat…
Russia's war is a historic watershed for our continent. The decisions we take now will shape circumstances in #Europe for a long time - even though the accession process remains long and hard. The same holds true for our friends in #Moldova. 2/3 twitter.com/ABaerbock/stat…
#Ukraine is defending Europe‘s values. That is reason enough for the #EU not to shut the door in its face. But the question of #candidate status is about more: About whether we are capable, at a historic crossroads, of acting strategically rather than merely by the book. 1/3 twitter.com/ABaerbock/stat…
The #ceasefire was an important step for #Ethiopia, peace talks need to gain momentum now, hum. access remains vital. In call with 🇪🇹 F@DemekeHasenen F@ABaerbockck underlined importance of continuing this path without hesitation. 🇩🇪 supports work@_AfricanUnionni@EUSR_Webereber
A major oil spill from the #FSOSafer would be an environmental catastrophe. The people of #Yemen who already suffered seven years of war would be hit the hardest. Germany supports the @UN emergency operation to prevent this disaster. #StopRedSeaSpill twitter.com/DavidGressly/s…
Thus, Germany responds to the tense situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Also with a view to the elections in October, we together with our European and NATO partners will not allow a security vacuum in our immediate neighbourhood. 2/2
Germany plans to participate again in EUFOR ALTHEA @euforbih. Foreign Minister @ABaerbock recently visited the Western Balkans states, stressing how important the reinforcement of our engagement is for the stability of the region. 1/2
Germany is among the 47 supporters of this important initiative. We will not remain silent about the #HumanRights situation in China. #HRC50 twitter.com/NLinGeneva/sta…
Retweeted by GermanForeignOffice We as #EU have put concrete proposals for solutions on the table. With a firm view to: Citizens & businesses who benefit from the EU single market every day. And the preservation of the #GoodFridayAgreement. Peace & prosperity on the island of Ireland are not a pawn. 2/2 twitter.com/ABaerbock/stat…
With today's draft legislation on the #NIProtocol, London is unilaterally breaking agreements. And doing so for motives easy to see through. This is not acceptable for the #EU. To this breach of trust, we will stand united in our response. 1/2 twitter.com/ABaerbock/stat…
