Gathering of Regional Leaders from North Germany in Schwerin - Gathering of Leading Government Officials from Northern Germany in Schwerin
The North German Governors are set to convene in Schwerin, Germany, on Thursday at 11:00 AM for the Nord-Governors' Meeting. The meeting, which serves as a platform for discussion and consultation, will see the attendance of Manuela Schwesig, the Minister President of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the current chairwoman of the conference of North German Governors.
The primary focus of the meeting will be the expansion of harbors and securing federal government support for this expansion. The coastal states are seeking targeted support from the federal government as part of a multi-billion investment package. Manuela Schwesig, in her negotiations with her northern German colleagues on Thursday, has identified securing subsidies from the federal government for the expansion of ports as a specific goal.
Faster approval procedures and targeted state funding for offshore wind power are repeatedly called for by the Ministers President of the five North German states. Offshore wind power is seen as a significant contributor to Germany's future power supply by the Ministers President of Bremen, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Lower Saxony, and Schleswig-Holstein.
The energy transition is another topic for discussion at the North Governors' Meeting. The improvement of public infrastructure is a further topic, and the exchange with business and trade unions is considered important. Manuela Schwesig emphasized the importance of pooling strengths and acting together in her speech.
Representatives of the DGB from the five North German states will also be present at the meeting. The discussion is expected to be robust, with the enforcement of the demand for support from the federal government being a key point.
The meeting in Schwerin underscores the commitment of the North German Governors to a sustainable and prosperous future, with offshore wind power playing a crucial role in their vision.
