The security of Asia and Europe is closely intertwined. Free movement of goods in the Taiwan Strait is important for prosperity in Europe and worldwide. An escalation there would also affect us. Any change to the status quo must be non-violent and consensual. @aussenminister.diplo.de

Putin can only continue his brutal war of aggression against Ukraine because he can rely on support from third parties, including China. We expect China to use its influence on Russia to ensure a lasting peace for Ukraine. @aussenminister.diplo.de
