Monaco and Germany have reaffirmed the strength of their longstanding relationship during a high-level bilateral meeting in Berlin, held as the two countries celebrate the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations.

On 10th July, Monaco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Isabelle Berro-Amadeï, met with her German counterpart, Johann Wadephul, at the Federal Foreign Office in the German capital. The discussions highlighted the excellent state of relations between the Principality and Germany while providing an opportunity to address a range of shared priorities.

According to a government statement, among the key topics discussed were innovation, climate action, ocean protection, and cooperation on economic, scientific and cultural initiatives. The two ministers also underlined the shared values that continue to underpin relations between the two countries.

During the meeting, Wadephul congratulated Monaco on its current Presidency of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe and praised the Principality’s commitment to advancing accountability mechanisms for Ukraine.

Berro-Amadeï was accompanied by Lorenzo Ravano, Monaco’s Ambassador to Germany, together with diplomats Jean-Laurent Imbert and Tatiana El Khoury from the Embassy in Berlin.

Monaco and Germany formally established diplomatic relations in October 1951 with the creation of a diplomatic legation, which was elevated to embassy status in August 1983.

Today, Monaco’s Embassy in Berlin oversees a network of six honorary consuls located in Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Potsdam, Düsseldorf and Stuttgart, helping to strengthen the Principality’s presence and promote its interests across Germany.
