Holocaust Memorial Day reminds me of the fragility of our values, which must be honoured and defended daily. 🇩🇪 is committed to protecting Jewish life and faith. The Shoah - the most unspeakable annihilation of our civil and societal values - must never happen again. #HMD2019

A wonderful introduction to Wagner‘s 'Die Walküre' by members of @LPOrchestra at the Embassy last night.

I was deeply moved and honoured to have been part of @TheAJR_ #HMD2019. Germany will continue to remember and confront its past. We will ensure the memory of the Shoah is kept alive for future generations. twitter.com/MarkRegev/stat…

The Treaty of Aachen gives new impetus to the Franco-German friendship. The fact that this friendship has become so natural is a true testament to what our two countries have achieved - for Germany and France, as well as for Europe. #AachenerVertrag #TraitédAixLaChapelle pic.twitter.com/Mwns7puBIF

Today marks 100 years of women's suffrage in Germany: on 19 January 1919 women were allowed to vote and be elected for the first time. It was a first step to equality between men and women and a truly great moment for German democracy. #100JahreFrauenwahlrecht

These days a country’s soft power continues to matter! According to Monocle's #SoftPower survey 2018/19, Germany has retained its no. 2 spot for the third year running thanks to a combination of high quality of life, strong economy and efficiency. pic.twitter.com/bszZdh9bZK

I’m saddened to hear of the passing of Gebhardt von Moltke, a formidable German diplomat and highly respected former Ambassador to London in the late 1990s. My thoughts are with his family.

56 years ago, on 22 Jan 1963, Chancellor Adenauer and President de Gaulle signed the #Élysée treaty.
🇩🇪 & 🇫🇷 will renew this foundation of our friendship with a new far-reaching treaty, which was approved by the German cabinet yesterday and will be signed on 22 Jan 2019. twitter.com/GermanyDiplo/s…

Very saddened to hear of the passing of Lord Ashdown – an eminent pro-European whose voice of reason will be dearly missed. His dedication to peace in Europe will not be forgotten. It's been an honour to know him. My thoughts go out to his family and loved ones.
