Herzlich Willkommen, Frau Bundesministerin @Beate Meinl-Reisinger und Herr Staatssekretär Sepp Schellhorn! #TeamBMEIA freut sich sehr auf die Zusammenarbeit!

Herzlichen Dank, lieber Außenminister Alexander Schallenberg, für die gemeinsamen Jahre am Wiener Minoritenplatz und rund um den Globus! 🌍 All the best for what is yet to come wünscht dir dein #TeamBMEIA! youtube.com/shorts/l2PCJ...

Statement by the Spokesperson on the situation in the West Bank | EEAS www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/stateme...

We stand with #Ukraine. Russia is the aggressor and we share Ukraine’s commitment to a comprehensive, just and lasting peace! 🇺🇦 🤝 🇦🇹

11 years ago #Russia illegally and treacherously occupied #Crimea. This day is a symbol for resistance to the occupation. The fact remains: Crimea is Ukraine! Just like Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia. Austria remains committed to a free and independent #Ukraine.

Today, it’s been 3 years since #Russia started its unprovoked, brutal & illegal war of aggression against #Ukraine. Ukraine deserves a comprehensive, just & lasting peace that guarantees the interests of Ukraine & our own. No negotiations on Ukraine without Ukraine! 🇦🇹🤝🇺🇦 youtu.be/2OnJcK0Ul10

Statement on the occasion of Tal Shoham‘s release #BringThemHomeNow bsky.app/profile/bmei...

Statement zur Freilassung von Tal Shoham #BringThemHomeNow

Alexei Navalny’s death followed years of persecution by the Kremlin. He was not afraid. He stood for freedom and democracy in the face of oppression. One year after his death, his legacy lives on.

Very alarmed by #Russia‘s continued attacks against #Ukraine, especially the strike against the #Chornobyl nuclear power plant. Russia has to stop playing with fire! Nuclear sites must be protected at all times and @iaeaorg must be allowed full access to prevent a catastrophe.

#Lebanon | Statement by the High Representative Kaja Kallas on the formation of a new government in Lebanon www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/stateme...

Heartbroken about the many innocent victims of the horrible shooting at a school in #Örebro today! In these dark hours, our thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones and with our friends in #Sweden.

The brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters, journalists and politicians tonight in Tbilisi is unacceptable. Georgia falls short of any expectation from a candidate country. The EU stands with the people of Georgia in their fight for freedom and democracy.

The violence in Eastern #DRC must stop immediately, with civilians’ safety as the priority! Rwanda’s support for #M23 rebels must end. The risk of wider conflict and rising refugee numbers is serious. Dialogue is needed to avert further escalation.

Devasted by the tragic news of the terrible crash between an airplane and a helicopter in Washington, DC. Our hearts and thoughts are with the families of the victims and with the people of the United States! 🇦🇹 🇺🇸

The violence in Kinshasa today is deeply troubling with civilians bearing the brunt of attacks and diplomatic missions targeted. These attacks are unacceptable. The protection of civilians and diplomatic staff should be guaranteed.

Celebrating 10 years of strong partnership with our friends & neighbours CZ 🇨🇿 & SK 🇸🇰 in the #Slavkov format! Countless meetings, trips, initiatives & projects show borders don’t hinder our cooperation. Together, we’re better equipped to tackle crises & shape a brighter future!

The #DoomsdayClock now stands at 89 seconds to midnight. This means that nuclear risks are higher today than ever! Engagement for #nucleardisarmament remains more important than ever in light of this danger to all humanity. #TPNW

Statement by the High Representative / Vice President Kaja Kallas and Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos on the sham presidential election in #Belarus www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/stateme...

We are saddened by the tragic loss of life caused by the hotel fire at #Kartalkaya ski ressort. Our thoughts are with all who lost loved ones! We wish a speedy recovery to those injured.

Very positive news after 467 terrible days. The release of all remaining #hostages and a #ceasefire in #Gaza are long overdue and hopefully an important step towards the end of so much suffering in the whole region. Thanks for the relentless efforts of the US, Egypt and Qatar!

🇦🇹 Congratulations to Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg and the Austrian Foreign Ministry for being selected as the 2024 “Arms Control Persons of the Year”! 👏 👏 #ArmsControl #ACPOY2024 ow.ly/t1Bl50UGQ6O

The EU supports the people of Venezuela in their defence of democracy. Maduro lacks all democratic legitimacy. New EU sanctions target individuals undermining democracy and human rights. We will continue to work with all Venezuelans for a democratic solution to the crisis. europa.eu/!b8BpFQ

#Lebanon | Statement by the High Representative on behalf of the EU on the presidential election www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/pre...

Congratulations to Joseph Aoun on his election as President of #Lebanon! His proven ability to forge consensus & national unity will be crucial to address the many challenges the country is facing. The people of Lebanon can count on Austria's support, also through #UNIFIL.

Today, we not only celebrate the beginning of the New Year but also 30 years of EU membership – together with our Finish and Swedish friends! We will continue to work for a strong, secure and prosperous Europe! #30YearsEU #StrongerTogether youtu.be/mS1LKwgoZzA

We wish our Polish friends all the best for the upcoming EU Presidency! We fully support your priority of enhancing European #security in all its dimensions. @POLAND25EU 🇵🇱🇪🇺 Thanks to @HU24EU for your efforts and achievements, especially regarding the Western Balkans! 🇭🇺🇪🇺

Congratulations to our Swiss friends for taking over the @OSCE Chairpersonship in 2026! We need a strong and capable #OSCE more than ever - Switzerland can count on our full support!

Austria has never closed its Embassy in #Syria. Our Ambassador is in #Damascus and met with representatives of the de-facto authorities, urging for a stable & inclusive political order offering perspectives for all Syrians. We are working on gradually strengthening our Embassy.

We vehemently condemn today’s heinous missile strikes by Russia against #Kyiv, which again show #Putin’s utter disregard for int’l law. Not only civilians, but also diplomatic premises were hit. Full solidarity with all those affected! #Russia must stop this brutal war now!

AT is proud to join the Artemis Accords, strengthening international cooperation in the civil exploration of outer space. This opens new opportunities for AT businesses and researchers to contribute to space initiatives, benefiting both space exploration and life on Earth.

On Human Rights Day, we reaffirm our commitment to promoting & protecting human rights for everyone, everywhere. We must ensure that human rights are at the centre when addressing current & future challenges - for a life in dignity, peace & security. www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/pre...

The fall of the Assad regime marks a historic turning point after years of repression and conflict. We call for an orderly, inclusive and peaceful transition based on UNSC Resolution 2254 that creates perspectives for all Syrians & allows the millions of refugees to return home.

Im Kampf gegen illegale Migration wurde die heuer bereits 6. Vereinbarung zur Kooperation bei Rückführungen auf den Weg gebracht. Das Memorandum of Understanding mit Ecuador wurde heute von Generalsekretär Marschik & Vize-Außenminister Barberis Martínez unterzeichnet.

The voice of Georgians demonstrating for democracy and a European future must be heard and respected. Violence against peaceful protesters is not acceptable! We call upon the government to defuse the situation.

#Israel / #Lebanon | Statement by the High Representative on behalf of the EU on the ceasefire agreement www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/pre...

We welcome the ceasefire agreement in #Lebanon and call on all parties to adhere to it. This will finally allow Israeli and Lebanese civilians to return to their homes. We appreciate the efforts by the US and France. Austria will continue its engagement in #UNIFIL.
