SOT, Annalena Baerbock, Foreign Minister of Germany (German): “With my trip, I want to make it clear that the relationship with Russia is very important to the new German government and to me personally. There is no alternative to stable relations between Moscow and Berlin. And I would like to continue working towards this. And I am speaking here on behalf of the federal government.”

SOT, Annalena Baerbock, Foreign Minister of Germany (German): “I am aware of the deep historical dimension to the relationship between our two countries. And therefore it was important to me today during my first visit in Moscow, to leave a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The historical depth, and also the historical pain between our two countries is always a task for current politics and for future generations. And we remain eternally grateful to the people of Russia for the reconciliation after the horrors of the Nazi dictatorship.”

SOT, Annalena Baerbock, Foreign Minister of Germany (German): “It is important to me, as I have also underlined, that in calm and with enough time we speak about the full range of bilateral and international topics. Topics where we can strengthen our relations together. Yesterday I also already had talks about the topic of hydrogen. But also about topics which these days put a strain on our friendship.”

SOT, Annalena Baerbock, Foreign Minister of Germany (German): “I am looking forward to an open and honest exchange. And thank you once again for the invitation to these talks today.”
