Foreign Minister @HeikoMaas on #InaugurationDay: 👇
"Now it is time to seek common ground - the new US Administration has already indicated a return to #WHO & #ParisAgreement. We will not always agree with each other but we will never give up working on solutions." @HeikoMaas #InaugurationDay
“Rituals such as today’s inauguration demonstrate that the democratic institutions of the #USA are working – despite the difficulties of the past days and despite the polarization of US society.” @HeikoMaas #InaugurationDay
"The new Biden-Administration has certain expectations towards 🇩🇪 and 🇪🇺 when it comes to more engagement in our neighborhood for example. In this regard, we will also have to enter into a dialogue very soon." @HeikoMaas #InaugurationDay
"The new US President will certainly continue to consider #China the foremost challenge for US foreign and security policy. In this area, there are issues on which we should co-operate more closely. We stand ready to do so." @HeikoMaas #InaugurationDay

„In Libya, the moment has come for progress in the 5+5 talks and a ceasefire agreement. This requires stopping the supply of arms to both sides as well as taking the conflict parties to task.", @HeikoMaas Image

European sovereignty, as I understand it, means that Europe can act independently and decide to pool its resources in areas where the individual states have long since lost their ability to shape globalisation to the major powers. (1/6)
The fact that🇪🇺 now imports almost 90% of all essential medicines from🇨🇳 or🇮🇳 illustrates where action is needed. Or just think of 5G, IT, logistics, energy & the natural resource sector. The first step must therefore be an unsparing analysis of our strategic dependencies. (2/6)
We will have to think about how to better contain the conflicts in Europe’s vicinity, even without the US. For that reason, too, we want to finalise work on the European Peace Facility & establish a European Centre of Excellence for Civilian Crisis Management here in Berlin.(3/6)

I don’t think I need to use many words to describe what a revolutionary progress is contained in the recent Franco-German proposals.Olaf Scholz rightly spoke of Europe’s “Hamiltonian moment”. (1/5)
We can overcome the errors of the past. Whether the euro and financial crisis or the confrontations surrounding migration and displacement – all these have deepened the divides between our countries. And that danger exists this time, too. (2/5)
It is all the more important that from the outset we anchor our national measures in a European recovery programme. And that is why agreement on this and on a future budget for the next seven years will be the top priority of our Presidency. (3/5)

To date, more than 100,000 Europeans have lost their lives as a result of#Covid19. The consequences of the emergency braking in the economy will occupy us for years to come. And quite possibly the test of our societies still awaits us. @HeikoMaas @ecfr (1/4)
Whoever assumes the Council Presidency in times like these needs to be aware that high expectations will be placed on them.We want to use this unprecedented crisis to set in motion unprecedented changes in the European Union. (2/4)
And these changes centre on two words that describe the entire programme of the German Presidency in a nutshell: solidarity and sovereignty. (3/4)

I am relieved that the Polish-German border has been re-opened. Poland and Germany were separated by the Corona virus, but German-Polish friendship remains intact. As Europeans we must overcome the consequences of the pandemic together - @HeikoMaas in Warsaw Image
We have also discussed our proposal on a Europan recovery fund to help all countries emerge from the crisis as quickly as possible. We need to prepare Europe for the future and invest in the sustainable transformation of our economy and society - @HeikoMaas in Warsaw Image
A modern EU budget also means that tax payers’ money can only be allocated in a transparent environment based on the rule of law - a value shared by all member states. We welcome that the European Commission gives this matter due attention  - @HeikoMaas in Warsaw Image

Foreign Minister @HeikoMaas: "The global travel warning will be lifted from 15 June for the EU, Schengen-associated countries and the UK and replaced by travel advice for individual countries." (1/4) Image
@HeikoMaas "However, we cannot allow ourselves to be complacent. Together we have to ensure that the restarting of tourism does not lead to a second coronavirus wave in Germany or elsewhere." (2/4)
@HeikoMaas „The lifting of the travel warning will depend on the local situation. And it must also be clear that there will not be another repatriation programme this summer." (3/4)
