Piracy was a topic throughout the day. At the Federal Ministry of Defence the group talked about the Atalanta mission off the Horn of Africa, among other things.. The Bundeswehr is part of the international fight against piracy there. Brigadier General Wiermann emphasized that to be successful and sustainable, an operation must integrate crisis prevention, including, for example, security reforms. He added that these sustainable approaches are part of a new German security policy in the global age. In the afternoon, the group again dealt with the Atalanta mission. While visiting the German Bundestag, a vote concerning extending the mission to the mainland was just taking place.

The participants of the 2nd High Level Expert programme Ukraine
Just as diverse as the fascinating spectrum of professional backgrounds of the 20 “high level experts”, was the thematically multifaceted composition of this years Ukraine Programme: the 3-week visit of the Ukrainians enabled not only first glimpses into the duties and actvities of the Federal Foreign Office, but also, through a broadly-disciplined range of seminars, room for exciting discussions on various topics like bilateral relations with Ukraine or European security, migration, environmental, or economic policy.

The 35th International Executive Seminar in retrospect
The participants of the 35th International Executive Seminar in Munich
As the 17 participants of the 35th International Executive Seminar for German-speaking diplomats from Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe came to Berlin in the beginning of February, the temperature was bitterly cold. However, in the course of the nine-week programme, spring soon arrived and the group of young foreign diplomats also began to thaw. They participated with great vigour in the interactive seminars on negotiation training, conflict mediation, public speaking for diplomats and in the debates at the European Academy Berlin and the German Council on Foreign Relations. Just as engaged, they debated with the professors for the seminars on history, state and international law, international economic policy and diplomatic reporting, as well as international protocol. The geographical diversity of the countries of origin made it possible for them, in addition to getting to know the German perspective, to have a fruitful exchange of views above and beyond country borders.
