84 years ago #OTD in occupied Riga, Nazi German forces started 2 days of mass murdering of 25,000 jews from Latvia and more than 1,000 from Berlin in Rumbula forest. Rumbula always reminds us to speak up. Today, we remembered. #niewiederistjetzt #neveragainisnow

It was no coincidence that the seminar was held here: German as a foreign language is developing dynamically in 🇱🇻. Happy to meet so many teachers who put their pupils first & are determined to bring best practices from all over the world back to 🇩🇪. Wishing you all the best!

For German as a foreign language, all roads led to Riga last week: I was honored to welcome the new country managers of our partner school programme from all over the world for their onboarding seminar in 🇱🇻. Thanks for the inspiring discussions!

Successful premiere of 🇩🇪🤝🇱🇻 defense cooperation! On Nov 12-13, 170 German & Latvian industry reps met in Riga to explore joint opportunities. From DIEHL to startups like QUANTUM SYSTEMS, innovation & partnership were key. Together for European security!

With their courage and desire for freedom, the people of the GDR brought down the Berlin Wall. The division of Germany is history. The commitment to freedom is more important today than ever. Freedom is not a given.

Eiropa. Specīgākā. Kopā. – Great pleasure to welcome approx. 50 students of the #EPAS-programme from Ventspils, Jelgava, Rīga, Rēzekne and Alūksne in my residence! In energetic discussions, these “European Ambassadors” convinced me & my colleagues of their policy proposals for the EU.

Very pleased to meet a group of trainees of the 🇩🇪 Federal Police in our Embassy. Really appreciated exchange on police work in the European context. Thank you for your spirit as shown in the pretty picture that you gave to the Embassy – “Police of the 🇪🇺 – you’ll never walk alone”. Here we go!

I am delighted that we can support a project of Latvian transatlantic organisation this year which is dedicated to promoting media literacy and combating disinformation in the regions! Very interesting grassroots approach. We wish the project a successful start and look forward to the results.

Security, freedom, prosperity are our main interests in Europe and unity is vital. Discussing these goals with RSU students of International Relations was inspiring. Thank you for the vibrant exchange!

Delighted to greet 🇩🇪 travel blogger Fabian Baggeler at the Embassy. As diplomats, we travel a lot, but we can't keep up with him. Truly curious to hear his impressions of Latvia.

Impressed by the important work of @Centrsmarta.bsky.social advocating for the human rights in 🇱🇻 but also in 🇺🇦. Delighted to learn that there is also a cooperation between 🇱🇻 and 🇩🇪 in order to help to secure human rights in 🇺🇦 in these challenging times.
