Iran Press/ Europe: In a keynote speech at the German Council on Foreign Relations, Lambrecht outlined the government’s plan to develop a new security strategy to address current and foreseeable challenges.
“Germany’s size, its geographical position, its economic strength, makes us a leading power, whether we want it or not. This is also the case for a military role,” she said, arguing that the country should abandon its reluctant approach.
“If we want to live in peace and freedom in the future, we must change the course now,” she stressed.
The minister underlined that Russia’s war on Ukraine has brought about a historic geopolitical shift.
Lambrecht said Germany would significantly increase its defense spending, continue to take steps to strengthen the European pillar within NATO and assume more responsibility for peace and stability in Europe.
