🇩🇪 German Ambassador to 🇶🇦 Qatar

Joined April 2021
Emotional farewell to 🇺🇦 Ambassador Andrej Kuzma after nearly 7 years in office. With highest diplomatic skills he convincingly represented his country, which is under Russian attack since over 4 years. Salva Ukraine, dear Andrej, as 🇪🇺 family we unwaveringly stand at 🇺🇦 side!

In a call with @araghchi I urged Iran to finally engage constructively in negotiations with regional neighbours & USA in order to bring the conflict to an end. The Strait of Hormuz needs to be opened unconditionally ensuring free and safe navigation for all.

Hopeful news from #Gaza: Hamas has agreed to a roadmap for disarmament. I welcome agreement reached by the #US with support of mediators from 🇪🇬 🇶🇦 🇹🇷 & @nmladenov. It is now key that real progress is made & Hamas actually disarms. It must never again pose a threat to #Israel 1/2

I am deeply saddened by the passing of HH Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani. He was a visionary leader, a caring Father of the Nation, and a long-standing friend of Germany. My heartfelt thoughts are with his family and the people of Qatar during this time of mourning.

I welcome the agreement between the U.S. and Iran and congratulate President Trump and the Iranian side on this diplomatic breakthrough. This can pave the way towards a reinvigorated global economy and a more secure Middle East. It is crucial to implement it with determination.

Shukran djazilan, @majedalansari for your comprehensive Berlin visit! Your insights were highly appreciated by all interlocutors, a timely and substantial contribution to the strong and living 🇶🇦🇩🇪 partnership!
I visited Berlin last week, where I met with officials from the German Federal Foreign Office, the Bundestag, & the Ministry of Defence. I also had the opportunity to participate in sessions hosted by Körber-Stiftung & the Berghof Foundation, engaging in insightful discussions & a valuable exchange of perspectives on issues of mutual interest. Grateful for the warm welcome & hospitality extended throughout the visit.

In my call with @araghchi, I emphasized: #Germany supports a negotiated solution. As a close ally of the #US, we share the same goal: #Iran must completely & verifiably renounce nuclear weapons & immediately open the Strait of #Hormuz, as also demanded by @SecRubio. @AussenMinDE
Im Telefonat mit @araghchi habe ich unterstrichen: 🇩🇪 unterstützt eine Verhandlungslösung. Als enger US-Verbündeter teilen wir das gleiche Ziel: Iran muss vollständig & nachprüfbar auf Kernwaffen verzichten & die Straße von Hormus sofort freigeben, wie es auch @SecRubio fordert.

The current situation in/around the Strait of Hormuz is complex & has direct impact on people & economies around the 🌍. 🇩🇪‘s willing to support securing the SoH. However, a clear exit from all hostilities & blockades is needed urgently. 🇩🇪 reassures it’s solidarity with 🇶🇦.
Maritime security is the foundation of our interconnected global economy. #Iran must end its blockade and open the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic. - @AussenMinDE at today’s debate in #UNSC at @UN . 1/2
