🇩🇪 Le nouveau ministre allemand des Affaires étrangères, Johann Wadephul, a rencontré la moitié de ses homologues africains en 2 semaines. Lors du sommet #EUAU, il a envoyé un message clair: 🤝 Nous voulons un véritable partenariat, la #paix et une #responsabilité mondiale partagée.




The #Peace agreement signed today between #DRC Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner and #Rwanda Olivier J.P. Nduhungirehe is excellent news. We commend Secretary Marco Rubio for his successful facilitation. This is a very significant step towards peace in the Great Lakes Region. (1/2)

It’s paramount that both parties implement the agreement: respect for territorial integrity, cessation of hostilities & neutralization of armed groups in #EasternDRC. And to link these results with the mediation efforts by African Union and Faure Essozimna GNASSINGBÉ & by Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Qatar (2/2)

After 3 exciting years as Germany’s Africa Director it’s time to say goodbye and thank my core team and all wonderful colleagues GermanForeignOffice . It was a pleasure and honor. Stay tuned for my successor who will join soon.
