Germany's New Minister for Development Assures: Germany Continues to Be a Dependable Ally - Germany Maintains Its Commitment: New Minister Assures Partnership in Development Matters
In the face of tumultuous geopolitical landscapes, Reem Alabali-Radovan, stepping up from her role at the Federal Chancellery, is now the new Minister for International Economic Cooperation and Development. She proclaimed, "It's crucial in today's world that Germany maintains a plethora of partners globally." This move reinforces Germany's dedication to building and sustaining long-standing global partnerships.
The whirlwind coalition discussions saw the Union demanding the scrapping of the Ministry of Development Cooperation, a proposal vehemently rejected and ultimately thwarted by the SPD. The partnership agreement called for pooling development policy services, previously under the jurisdiction of various ministries, in the BMZ.
"Our mission will always be to combat poverty, hunger, and inequality—gently guided by compassion and empathy," explained Alabali-Radovan. She plans to prioritize fair economic partnerships that serve the best interests of both Germany and its partners, with a stronger focus on mutually beneficial outcomes, from raw material extraction to green hydrogen production.
Alabali-Radovan, who had been the State Minister in the Federal Chancellery and the Commissioner for Migration, Refugees, and Integration since 2021, will be succeeded by SPD politician Natalie Pawlik. Born in Moscow, Alabali-Radovan's parents are from the Christian minority in Iraq. She currently serves as deputy chairwoman of the SPD in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
