󾓨Germany stands ready to play an active role in the negotiating process that is due to start in the next few days.

NSA Mohib met German Amb. Axel Zeidler & members of Berghof Foundation to discuss issues ahead of direct talks. “Mohib emphasized the importance of ceasefire to give respite to the Afghan nation. Amb. Zeidler underscored Germany's firm support for Afghanistan in peace efforts.”

Had a constructive meeting with German Ambassador to Afghanistan HE Axel Zeidler High Council for National Reconciliation. We discussed the the Consultative Peace Jirga's suggestions & the latest developments on #AfghanPeaceProcess. We reiterated our call for the beginning of the intra-Afghan talks, & reduction in violence.

I met with German Ambassador H.E. Axel Zeidler German Ambassador to Afghanistan. He congratulated the people & government of #AFG on the Loya Jirga & the progress made towards the start of the direct negotiations. I welcome Germany's support towards achieving a dignified & sustainable peace.

FM Heiko Maas 🇪🇺 I agreed with my colleague from Norway MFA, Ine Eriksen #Søreide, that 🇩🇪 &🇳🇴 should support peace talks for #Afghanistan. We also agree that a good final result is more important than time lines. We must not risk hard-earned progress made in the human rights realm.

Congratulations @ShkulaZadran – 2020 Afghan Youth Representative to UN. Deborah Lyons & global UN family looks forward to working with you & hearing voices of #Afghanistan’s youth loud & clear in critical period ahead. Thank you Germany in Afghanistan & Afghans for Progressive Thinking (APT) for making this happen.

The last part of my daily commute takes me thru Brandenburg Gate. Every time it feels like a privilege. When I was a kid diplomat, there was a wall right here dividing #Berlin My daily reminder that #change for the good is possible, and surprises, too.

Today is German Unity Day, the 30th anniversary of German Reunification and the national holiday of 🇩🇪! German Ambassador to Afghanistan explains the importance of today and how the reunification of Germany 🇩🇪 sends a message of hope that peaceful change is possible. #Germany30 #einheit30

We are shocked and saddened and we strongly condemn the terrible terrorist attack on an education center in Kabul that claimed scores of innocent lives and injured many others, including children.

We offer our deepest sympathies to the families of the victims. Violence must be stopped and culprits of the attack must be held to account. 🇩🇪 will continue to support 🇦🇫 to achieve sustainable peace.

Min S. Sadat Mansoor Naderi discussed with German Ambassador to Afghanistan peace talks in Doha, the unacceptable level of violence, #Afghanistan2020 conference and bilateral relationships focused on long-term peace building. Min Naderi commended Germany's bold & principled role in the Afghan peace process.

We are shocked and appalled by today’s horrible attack on yet another place of learning in Kabul. There can be no justification for deliberate killings of innocent civilians. Afghanistan 🇦🇫 needs peace. Germany 🇩🇪 continues its support.

1/2 We are shocked and saddened by the killing of former TOLOnews anchor #YamaSiawash in an attack in Kabul today. This was an attack against one of the core foundations of a democratic society - freedom of the press.

2/2 We express our sympathies for all the victims of the attack today as well as for the grieving families. The violence must stop. It is time for peace.

31 years ago today, on November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall fell after 28 years. That day not only marked the end of Germany’s division but also the beginning of a strong and united Europe! #EuropeUnited #NoMoreWalls

Again, we are deeply shocked and saddened. The killing of Radio Azadi #journalist Ilyas Dayee today was another attack against one of the core foundations of a democratic society -#FreePress. Our thoughts are with the grieving families. Violence must stop. It is time for peace.
