I had the great honour to present my Letters of Credence to Her Majesty The Queen today, in a virtual ceremony.
Her Majesty's sense of duty has always been an inspiration to me. Her dedication to the friendship and reconciliation between 🇬🇧 and 🇩🇪 is a great gift to my country.

Fighting antisemitism is as important as ever. The @wienerlibrary is a beacon in this endeavour, with its outstanding research and public-facing events, including the exhibition Fighting Antisemitism from Dreyfus to Today. Thanks to Director Toby Simpson for showing me around.

British tourists continue to be 🇩🇪's 4th largest visitor group. Good to meet with Beatrix Haun from the German National Tourist Office. @GermanyTourism's important work ensures that Germany remains as popular as ever.

Vorfreude here is reaching a fever pitch! We can't wait.
So Jill, seeing as we won't agree on who will win #WEURO2022, who do you think will win the Golden Boot? Popp or Mead?
.@GermanAmbUK, guten Tag, Miguel, I’m wondering if your team @GermanEmbassy have gone as football cray as we have! Looking forward to a great match on Sunday 👍🇬🇧🇩🇪⚽️

Germany 🇩🇪 has delivered to Ukraine 🇺🇦 the first 3 out of 15 Gepard Anti-Air-Tanks, 3 Multiple-Rocket-Launchers Mars II & 3 Howitzers Panzerhaubitze 2000, in addition to the 7 already delivered.
A very strong message of resolve a day before the reduction of Gas supply by Russia.

Very sad to learn that David Trimble has passed away. He will always be remembered for his historic contribution to the Good Friday / Belfast Agreement. Our thoughts are with his family.
