❤️lichen Glückwunsch, Lionesses! 🏆 We send our warmest congratulations to the English women’s team on winning the 2025 UEFA Women’s Euro! With record-breaking viewership and unforgettable moments, this championship was a true milestone for the sport. ⚽🎉
E3 and EU PDs met Iranian Deputy Foreign Ministers to discuss Iran’s nuclear programme. E3 are ready to trigger snapback, however we offered a snapback extension should Iran meet their legal obligations and specific criteria. We urge Iran to choose the path of diplomacy.
Together, the EU and the US are a market of 800 million people. And nearly 44 percent of global GDP. It’s the biggest trade deal ever ↓
I urged Prime Minister Netanyahu in a phone call to do everything in his power to bring about an immediate ceasefire and called on him to allow urgently needed humanitarian aid to reach the starving civilian population in Gaza without delay. 1/2
We will closely monitor developments and, in coordination with France, the UK, other European partners, the United States, and Arab states, decide in the coming days how we can contribute to improving the situation. 2/2
The time has come to end the war in Gaza. We – France, the United Kindom and Germany – urge all parties to bring an end to the conflict by reaching an immediate ceasefire:
Expressing the deep concern regarding the ongoing grave situation of 🇺🇦 #POW and possible violation of human #InternationalLaw, 41 @OSCE participating states invoked the #MoscowMechanism on Russia
🌈 Berlin’s #CSD2025 tomorrow, on July 26th reminds us: Pride is protest. Born from #Stonewall, 2025’s motto: Never Silent Again. At @GermanyInCanada, we stand with 2SLGBTQIA+ communities in 🇩🇪, 🇨🇦 & beyond. Rights are defended by those who show up, speak out & stand together.
Afghanistan matters also in 🇨🇦. It was a pleasure to offer remarks during the opening of the Kabul-NATO-dialogue in Ottawa yesterday and to discuss the way ahead in difficult times for 🇦🇫. To make it very clear: 🇩🇪 does not recognize the Taliban @AliEhsassi @NATOCanada @AYLO_AF
Today, a significant milestone for climate protection has been achieved!
The @CIJ_ICJ clarifies: all states have obligations to protect the climate. To take measures to prevent damages and ensure a clean, healthy & sustainable environment. A big milestone. Under Vanuatu’s leadership, #Germany, SIDS & others initiated this request to the #ICJ.

What a ride. What a team. What a summer. 🇩🇪❤️⚽ A hard-fought semi-final vs Spain—extra time, full drama. Final score: 1–0. Congrats, Spain. @DFB_Frauen, we’re so proud. You gave it your all. Danke für einen unvergesslichen EM-Sommer! #WEURO2025 #GERESP #TeamGermany
Très heureux de t’accueillir chaleureusement, cher @EmmanuelMacron. Nos relations reposent sur des décennies d’amitié franco-allemande profonde. Nous savons tous les deux combien il est essentiel de continuer à la faire vivre et grandir dans les années à venir.
The countdown’s on! 🕒 This afternoon (3PM ET): Germany vs. Spain—a semifinal clash of champions. 🇩🇪🆚🇪🇸 The @bundeskanzler promised: see you at the final. Until then—we’re packed & ready in his carry-on. 🧳🔥 From 🇨🇦 to 🇨🇭, we’ll be cheering loudly. Viel Glück, @DFB_Frauen!
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz @bundeskanzler: "I want to urge the Israeli government in the strongest possible terms to halt its massive military interventions, to enable a ceasefire to take place and above all to enable humanitarian aid to reach the population there."
Limiting the independence of Ukraine’s anti-corruption agency hampers #Ukraine’s way towards the EU. I expect 🇺🇦 to continue with determination its efforts in combating corruption. That’s why I also met with the heads of #NABU & #SAPO during my visit to Kyiv. @AussenMinDE
As @antonioguterres highlights: #EnergyTransition is an investment in security, growth & resilience! 🇩🇪 is ready to seize the #MomentOfOpportunity with our partners. For #COP30, we need 1.5C-aligned 2035 climate plans by Sept that embrace renewables, efficiency & electrification.
The fossil fuel age is flailing & failing. We're at the dawn of a new & clean energy era. An era where cheap, abundant, renewable energy powers a world rich in economic opportunity. We have the tools to power the future for humanity. This is our moment of opportunity.
Civilians cannot be targets. Never. The images from Gaza are unbearable. The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid. And for the full respect of international and humanitarian law. Civilians in Gaza have suffered too much, for too long.…
The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with @gideonsaar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges
