Federal Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle

Foreign Minister Westerwelle calls for confidence in Europe

“I am very concerned by the recent opinion polls on Europeans’ views about their future and the role played by the process of European integration. Many people in Europe are losing faith in the joint European project. Especially in countries where people have been hit hard by the effects of the crisis, people are losing confidence in a better future for themselves and their children."

Please note that the embassy will be closed on 27 May 2013.
