Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy
“In the new multipolar global economy, the Indo Pacific region is a pivotal hub, where rapidly growing markets meet dynamic innovation and the technologies of the future. Germany responds with strategic clarity, strengthened partnerships and a tangible economic presence through investment in resilient supply chains. Those who are not active players in the Indo-Pacific region risk losing their capacity to shape developments during a critical phase of global economic transformation.”
