Benedikt Franke says the world knows what needs to be done to reform global governance but is failing to deliver. He points to more than 160 UN reform proposals agreed at the Summit of the Future, with only 11 implemented. He says India, Germany and the EU must do more, while acknowledging past Western failures to include the wider world. Is action now overdue? @JournoPranay | @FrankeBenedikt #ElephantCafe #MSCOnITG #IndiaTodayGlobal #UNReforms #India #Multilateralism #GlobalGovernance

Der 11. September 2001 war sein erster Arbeitstag als deutscher Botschafter in den USA. Wolfgang Ischinger erinnert sich im ZEITREISE-Podcast an den schlimmsten Terroranschlag der Geschichte, an Telefonate mit Gerhard Schröder und Joschka Fischer – und fällt ein sehr ungewöhnliches, persönliches Urteil über George W. Bush. Unbedingt anhören!

Wolfgang @ischinger, Vorsitzender der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz @MunSecConf​, sieht in dem Drohnenvorfall am Flughafen Leipzig/Halle keine neue Entwicklung: Deutschland sei seit Jahren Opfer hybrider Aktivitäten. Es brauche klare Zuständigkeiten, um diese zu bekämpfen.

NATO’s role in ensuring maritime security and dealing with shadow fleet was a topic of discussion, organised by 🇱🇻 @LIIA_LV, @MunSecConf @LATO_LV @EasternCircles . My points: military presence, stronger sanctions against Russia’s shadow fleet and punishing those that evade them.

Germany's coming to the fore in European defenses- that was the leitmotif of our conversation with @MunSecConf's Head of Research @TobiasBunde, as the @GSSC_LT launches a series of high-profile debates on Berlin's (ever-increasing_ role in Europe -and beyond.
Germany’s decisions today have long-term significance for the security of NATO’s eastern flank. GSSC hosted the first event in the “Vilnius-Berlin Pulse” series, dedicated to Germany’s foreign, security and defence policy. The discussion featured @TobiasBunde, Director of Research and Policy at the Munich Security Conference. The event was moderated by @Leskevicius, GSSC Chief Adviser on Foreign Policy. The discussion addressed Germany’s changing strategic thinking, the transformation of the Bundeswehr, the deployment of the German brigade in Lithuania, transatlantic relations and challenges within NATO.

Wer sich fragt, welches diplomatische Spiel Teheran da gerade mit Washington spielt, dem sei dieses Interview empfohlen. Wolfgang @ischinger hat in seinem Diplomatenleben schon mit dem ein oder anderen Iraner am Verhandlungstisch gesessen - und daraus den Schluss gezogen: "Verhandlungen mit dem Iran sind nicht unmöglich, aber diplomatisches Hochreck." @sternde

Wolfgang @Ischinger @MunSecConf​ fordert eine Beteiligung der Europäer bei der Entwicklung eines Plans für langfristige Sicherheitsstrukturen im Nahen Osten. Europa habe hierbei viel Erfahrung und solle "nicht einfach zuschauen", sondern sich diplomatisch einschalten.

I was very pleased to host yesterday at the Residence in Washington a roundtable dinner in honor of Ambassador #HelgaSchmid, in the distinguished presence of my dear friends and colleagues, the Ambassador of Kuwait and the U.S. Ambassador to Morocco (@USAmbMorocco). Bringing together, as part of the @MunSecConf Middle East Consultation Group, leading voices from across policy and diplomatic circles, including @AtlanticCouncil, @BrookingsInst, @CSIS, @MiddleEastInst, and @StimsonCenter, this exchange offered a rich and forward-looking discussion on regional dynamics and shared priorities, reflecting our collective commitment to dialogue, partnership, and strategic clarity.
