Fresh Faces, Same Commitment: A New minister for Global Development in Germany
Steady Alliance: Germany Maintains Commitment as Trusted Ally - Trusted New Minister on Development Affirms: "Germany Stands Committed as a Dependable Ally"
Hey there!
Reem Alabali-Radovan, the fresh face in Germany's political scene, has stepped up as the new Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, taking over from Svenja Schulze (SPD). In a nutshell, Alabali-Radovan is on a mission to nurture and maintain long-lasting global partnerships amidst the turbulent geopolitical landscape. Stay tuned for a chatty insights-filled journey on her plans, passions, and policy agendas!
In these tricky global times, Germany, as ever, needs a strong and reliable partner network, and that's precisely what Alabali-Radovan aims to deliver. She's convinced that the cooperation, solidarity, and commitment Germany offers shouldn't be taken for granted now more than ever.
The Union wanted to scrap the Ministry of Development Cooperation during coalition talks, but the SPD won out, ensuring it continues its vital work. The parties agreed that the development policy tasks previously handled by other ministries would be consolidated in the BMZ.
When pushing for fair economic cooperation that benefits both Germany and its partners, Alabali-Radovan doesn't stop short. She plans to actively pursue those partnership-based win-win effects, focusing on everything from resource extraction to green hydrogen.
A former State Minister in the Federal Chancellery, Alabali-Radovan has served as the Commissioner for Migration, Refugees, and Integration since 2021 and, as of 2022, as Commissioner for Anti-Racism. Having had enough of these roles, you might wonder who will be filling in the gap. Steph Pawlik, another SPD politician, will take over the commissioner duties. Born in Moscow, Russia, Alabali-Radovan is of Iraqi descent and, with a predominantly Christian background, offers a unique global perspective. She currently serves as the deputy state chairperson of the SPD in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
