War, peace, climate change, AI: these are some of the major issues we are facing in our world. Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul was here in Rome to discuss it with the Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Parolin and "Foreign Minister" Mons. Gallagher.

Democracy can't be taken for granted. It must be safeguarded every day. Germany knows this first-hand: democracy ended in 1933. Dictatorship, war and division followed. In 1990, Reunification was achieved through free elections. Divided by history. United by choice. #TdE2026

The people in the GDR had the courage to aspire to freedom. With the Peaceful Revolution, they brought down the regime in East Germany. On November 9th, the Berlin Wall fell. Eleven months later, Germany was reunited. Today, our commitment for freedom must be stronger than ever.
