farewell appointment with Kazakh foreign minister Mukhtar Tleuberdi - saying goodbye in friendship and with respect (and COVID discipline)

Distinction from the Anti-Corruption Agency of Kazakhstan - Köp rachmed!

Last day in Kazakhstan after 4 years as Ambassador - I came as a guest and leave as a friend! Kesdenkesche! We meet again!

Austria highly welcomes #Kazakhstan‘s 🇰🇿 decision to abolish #deathpenalty! We urgently call on all other countries to follow suit & to finally end this unacceptable punishment that runs counter to all human dignity.

It's important to think about ways how to get through this COVID-crisis and get back to normal as soon as possible. Here's one proposal by the Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz

Vaccines are still scarce commodity. #Georgia has suffered a major setback due to delivery delays. We stand by our word of support & solidarity: 5000 doses of #AstraZeneca doses are on their way to #Tbilisi as a first emergency support. David Zalkaliani Irakli Garibashvili 🇦🇹 🤝🇬🇪

In his #UNGA address, FM #Schallenberg focused on the multilateral challenges of #COVID19, #Afghanistan, #AI and #values.x

See my remarks at #HRC49: In these challenging times, we have to prove time and again, that our joint commitment to the #HumanRights and the #RuleOfLaw is at the top of our priorities. They are fundamental pillars of any open and free society. UN Human Rights Council ➡️ m.youtube.com/watch?v=uEk2Hf…

Was privileged to have an open, professional and deep discussion w/Ambassador Peter Launsky-Tieffenthal, Secretary General for Foreign Affairs and at the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs of #Austria. We are working to bring our ties to a new level. 🇰🇿🤝🇦🇹

Appalled by the pictures of atrocities in #Bucha and other Ukrainian cities. Russian aggression must stop at once. United Nations Inquiry Commission in #Vienna & #ICC will have important role in ensuring that all crimes committed will be investigated & those responsible held accountable.

Good phone call between SG Peter #Launsky_Tieffenthal & Kazakh Deputy FM Roman Vassilenko. Austria welcomes the ambitious reform programme in #Kazakhstan - its implementation will be key. Moreover, it’s important to continue the dialogue on the impact of sanctions against #Russia

Good to welcome my colleague Ararat Mirzoyan back in Vienna. Today‘s signing of the protocol to the 🇪🇺 🤝 🇦🇲 Readmission Agreement is another step in our joint fight against illegal #migration. Also discussed regional and international security issues.
