Stéphane Séjourné (France) and Radosław Sikorski (Poland) at their press conference Germany and Poland have worked together for more than 30 years in the Weimar Triangle format Foreign Minister Baerbock is today travelling to a meeting in France with her French and Polish counterparts French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné is today hosting a meeting of the Weimar Triangle It is the first meeting at Foreign Minister level since he and his Polish counterpart Radosław Sikorski took office Together with Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock they aim to breathe new life into the Weimar Triangle as a forum for close dialogue with one another Foreign Minister Baerbock issued the following statement today (12 February) before leaving for La Celle-Saint-Cloud: Europe’s cohesion is our life insurance; particularly at a time when Russia is taking aim at Europe’s peaceful order crises are creating uncertainty around the world and Europe’s fundamental values are threatened by anti-democratic sentiment Today more than ever in its 30-year history the Weimar Triangle can provide impetus and develop ideas for a strong Because our strength lies precisely in the fact that the people of France Poland and Germany have different perspectives on our common Europe And the people of Europe are right to expect us to use this to generate momentum just a few days before the second anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine security and defence policy in Europe will dominate the agenda Germany and France stand by Ukraine’s side in its fight to defend itself We are united in solidarity with the Ukrainian people humanitarian and political terms – remains an utmost priority for the German Government Today’s discussions will also focus on the next steps for the EU’s enlargement policy have been seeking to join the EU for many years Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine is a forceful reminder to Europe of how much it and its partners in values need one another The fact that upcoming enlargements of the EU will also entail internal reform represents an important challenge We in the German Government want to drive progress on both of these issues together within the EU so let’s get to work: we are working on how we can jointly provide even better support to Ukraine because this strengthens our collective security We are further developing the European project so that it can weather storms and remain capable of action when it has 30 members or more We are intensifying exchange and cohesion among our citizens we share a deep conviction that European answers are better answers.- Statement by Foreign Minister Baerbock prior to her departure for the Weimar Triangle meeting France and Poland – Hans-Dietrich Genscher Roland Dumas and Krzysztof Skubiszewski – met in Weimar on Goethe’s birthday to set up the Weimar Triangle Their aim was to identify shared fundamental interests regarding Europe’s future and to extend cross-border cooperation following the fall of the Iron Curtain Over three decades after it was established this trilateral discussion and cooperation format is today more important than ever when it comes to injecting fresh impetus into political and civil-society dialogue and thereby making Europe more united and capable of action The Weimar Triangle symbolises how Europe’s future can be jointly shaped at many different levels and across borders On the occasion of the meeting of the “Weimar Triangle” in La Celle-Saint-Cloud on February 12th the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of France Germany and Poland reaffirm our determination… Prior to her departure for the Weimar Triangle meeting with her French and Polish counterparts in La Celle-Saint-Cloud near Paris Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock

office building from 1987 located on a natural hillside in the French town of Celle-Saint-Cloud The building is given a second life by preserving and reinforcing its structure façades and most of its communication cores The exterior spaces are also slightly transformed seeking to improve accessibility to the common areas and apartments Characterised by its location in a privileged environment, the building renovated by AZC architectes stands out for its six floors staggered on the hillside The lower floors are reused as car parks and offices while the upper floors house the new homes The project maintains the original character of the building while adapting to contemporary needs The pre-existing modular structure facilitates the transformation of the space while on the outside the prefabricated concrete parapets are reused Project description by AZC architectes This project aims to transform a former office building constructed in 1987 in La Celle-Saint-Cloud by architect Jacques Grellier into a social residential complex of 69 apartments along with 1,400 sqm of activity spaces Facing the Château de la Seine Saint Cloud estate the site benefits from an exceptional setting characterized by the natural hillside terrain is situated on a 6,182 sqm plot and is ideally located near the city center and the train station Designed with a post-and-beam concrete structure the building stands out with its six staggered floors and facades featuring precast concrete spandrels with an exposed aggregate finish initially designated for parking and technical facilities are converted to accommodate residential units The lowest level (R0) houses technical spaces and accessible entrances for individuals with reduced mobility providing direct connection to vertical circulation formerly divided between parking and offices has been cleared of its initial functions to be dedicated to new activities Pedestrian access is maintained and enhanced by adding a landscaped ramp The upper floors (R2 to R5) have undergone partial structural transformation to meet residential program requirements A new spatial configuration is achieved by modifying the central voids to expand patios and optimize apartment layouts play a key role in orienting cross-ventilated apartments and accommodating smaller units while an existing elevator shaft is also repurposed conducted in consultation with heritage authorities demonstrates the feasibility of adapting a building to contemporary needs while preserving its distinctive architectural character This approach balances conservation and change highlighting the effectiveness and durability of the original design choices Conservation and ReuseWe have adopted a conservation and reuse strategy based on analyzing the qualitative elements of the existing structure The building is given a second life by preserving its structure the project aligns with a qualitative and sustainable development approach and the building's character results from a series of decisions within the team aiming to retain the quality aspects of the existing structure: facades The functional quality of the apartments is central to the project Given the atypical configuration of the existing building and provide various orientations based on each apartment's size the structure is easily adaptable for the residential project With slab-to-slab heights varying from 3.02 to 3.04 meters the quality of the apartments surpasses that of current new constructions The floor configurations and the sloping terrain benefit the project FacadesThe prefabricated concrete spandrels are cleaned and retained The window strips are replaced with new insulating glazing and insulated cladding panels where necessary blackout roller shutters that also serve as security features PlantersAll existing boxes planted on the terraces are reused in arrangements compatible with the new project Exterior Space TreatmentThe main challenges of the project were related to the site's topography and the necessity of construction in a sparsely populated residential area With adapted logistics for material and equipment movement the company committed to minimizing construction nuisances The project integrates into the existing environment closely aligning with the site's local characteristics and the building The terrain's topography and the appearance of exterior spaces were slightly modified to enhance accessibility to activity spaces and apartments The 69 parking plots dedicated to the apartments are all located within the building The 28 spaces allocated for activities are arranged on the current outdoor parking area with slight topographical adjustments to ensure accessibility for people with reduced mobility Access to the apartments is separated from that of the activity spaces and parking areas utilizing durable and low-maintenance materials such as exposed aggregate concrete and grassed areas Shelters for two-wheeled vehicles are enclosed and protected within the building equipped with attachment points for securing them AZC architectes. 5,289 sqm (Housing: 3,786 sqm; Offices: 1,503 sqm) Julien Hourcade.

You’re delinquent?’” Trump recounted telling an unidentified NATO member during his presidency. “‘No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want The Republican front-runner’s words at a campaign rally were particularly shocking for front-line NATO countries like Poland which experienced both German and Soviet occupation during World War II and later spent decades under Soviet control Anxieties run high there over the ongoing war just across Poland’s eastern border “NATO’s promise of protection is unrestricted — ‘all for one and one for all,’” Scholz said without mentioning the former president by name “And let me say clearly for current reasons: Any relativization of NATO’s support guarantee is irresponsible and dangerous or ‘deal,’ with Europe’s security,” the chancellor added Scholz inaugurated a new ammunition factory underlining Europe’s efforts to ramp up weapons production READ MORE: NATO secretary-general says Trump puts allies at risk by encouraging Russian aggression Tusk also urged European nations to invest more in military projects in order “to achieve as quickly as possible… in the next dozen or so months much greater production capabilities in terms of ammunition.” Tusk said they “should act like a cold shower for all those who continue to underestimate this increasingly real threat which Europe is facing.” said Europe’s will “to further supply and meet Ukrainian needs is crucial,” after leaders of the 27 EU member nations sealed a deal to provide Ukraine with 50 billion euros ($54 billion) in support for its war-ravaged economy This “will enable us to make from Europe a security and defense power that is both complementary to NATO and a pillar of the Atlantic alliance Trump’s remarks raised concerns that if reelected he could embolden Russia to attack other countries besides Ukraine NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg issued a statement Sunday saying that Trump’s remarks put American troops and their allies at greater risk NATO does not require its 31 members to pay bills but they are expected to invest a certain percentage of their own budgets — ideally 2 percent of their gross domestic product — on defense Other European nations ramped up their military spending after Russia invaded Ukraine almost two years ago READ MORE: Russia says former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has interviewed Putin Germany, with a post-World War II political culture of military caution, was a frequent target of Trump’s ire during his presidency for falling short of the 2 percent target, But Berlin announced plans to step up military spending after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine and plans to hit the benchmark this year. France’s military budget grew in recent years and reached the level of about 2 percent of GDP. Tusk returned to power as prime minister of his central European nation in December after eight years of rule by a national conservative government that often took an antagonistic stance with European allies, particularly Germany. As a result, Warsaw’s influence in Europe diminished. The Weimar Triangle was created in 1991 as Poland was emerging from decades of communism as a platform for political cooperation among the three nations. Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski noted Monday that he and his French and German counterparts “meet at a dramatic, but also solemn moment.” Russian President Vladimir Putin “must not be allowed to win this war. We must fulfill our obligations toward Ukraine.” French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné said “each minute counts to get Europeans prepared to absorb the shock of a scenario that has been well described by Donald Trump.” Moulson contributed from Berlin and Gera from Warsaw.

A man walks by Stars of David tagged on a wall on Oct France says it has been the target of a Russian online destabilization campaign that used bots to whip up controversy and confusion about spray-painted Stars of David that appeared on Paris streets The French foreign ministry said in a statement “no manipulation attempt will distract France from its support for Ukraine in the face of Russia’s war of aggression.” Séjourné said “Russia seeks to destroy Europe’s unity and even worse wants to make our democracies exhausted … by blurring the limit between real and fake (news) The French agency responsible for fighting foreign digital interference released a report describing the network codenamed “Portal Kombat” that it analyzed between September and December in 2023 Viginum said it involves websites using the name “pravda” targeting countries including France this content repeatedly presents inaccurate or misleading narratives,” the report said It said the network also involves social media through “massive content sharing automation.” French foreign ministry officials said in a media briefing that Russia has stepped up efforts to manipulate information and spread deception They referred to messages on social media platforms such as X and websites like Sputnik as “massive in scope” and “complex in structure.” The aim of Russia’s disinformation campaign remains the same officials said: To amplify Russia’s success in the Ukraine war discredit and diminish Ukraine’s military resistance and undermine civilians’ resilience in the face of daily attacks on cities and towns and fracture Western support for Ukraine’s military and slow if not stop supply with weapons Kyiv The ministry also accused Russia of being behind the stenciling of Jewish stars last November on walls in Paris and its suburbs causing alarm about the safety of France’s Jewish community The agency detected a mirror website mimicking the French Foreign Ministry’s and intervened with “protective and preventive measures,” Viginum said in a report last year Thomas Adamson in Paris contributed to the story It’s a bid to help West African countries fight terrorism France and other nations have committed millions of dollars for a new military task force fighting Islamist militants in the Sahel region of West Africa The pledges happened at a G5 Sahel Summit in Paris hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron Intelligence services believe there are only between 500 to 800 jihadists active in the Sahel region But their ability to disappear in the desert and perpetrate surprise attacks makes them a real threat to countries like Mali Islamists took control of northern Mali in 2012 and were forced out by French troops in early 2013 France has kept 4,000 peacekeeping troops there since “The five G5 countries have promised to reinforce their presence in the central Sahel,” President Macron said “And that reinforcement will be both qualitative and quantitative with an increase in troop numbers and commanders and an accelerated schedule with operations planned for the first trimester of 2018.” Leaders at Wednesday’s summit promised to deploy 5,000 troops from G5 countries in the Sahel by mid-2018 The fear is that jihadist groups who have lost their foothold in the Middle East might try to re-establish themselves in North Africa “We are aware that time is of the essence and after what has happened in the Middle East there could be repercussions for us,” said Ibrahim Boubacar “We don’t want that to happen- those who have not been picked up in the Middle East will be in the Sahel We are determined to make concrete advances against terrorism in the region.” Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have also agreed to contribute funding to the new taskforce The financial contributions promised thus far still don’t add up to the estimated $300 million cost of launching the new task force A summit planned for Brussels in February aims to persuade European and African nations to stump up the missing cash The Domaine de Saint-Cloud is a 460-hectare park much appreciated by the people of Ile-de-France its water features and its beautiful outlook it attracts many walkers in search of greenery and beauty The estate regularly organizes themed tours and activities so there are plenty of opportunities for those who want to take a stroll If you need another excuse to visit the Domaine de Saint-Cloud when the warm weather returns, take heart: the site will be taking part in the new edition of Printemps de la Sculpture Printemps de la Sculpture is a new event in the Hauts-de-Seine in 2019 The French department wants to showcase its artistic heritage and (re)discover the many sculptures that adorn the 92 region several major cultural sites in Hauts-de-Seine invite us to admire the works of art on display in their streets Would you like to join in this celebration of sculpture?

An architecture competition was announced in 2001 and architect Henri Gaudin’s entry was the winning project. Construction began in October 2006; the new building was handed over on 1 January 2009. The Diplomatic Archives Centre is divided into two main spaces: a seven-floor building that houses the diplomatic archive storerooms and an open-plan area for offices and consultation and conference areas for the public .

service commercial and German Foreign Ministers Radosław Sikorski and Annalena Baerbock in Paris shows that cooperation in this format is of key strategic importance for Poland as it comes to both bilateral and trilateral relations and broader European and transatlantic dimensions The talks in the Château de La Celle-Saint-Cloud near Paris also confirm that partners from the two largest EU member states are willing to intensify relations with the new Polish government the Weimar Triangle is to become a forum for consulting joint trilateral projects and actions to strengthen the entire European Union politically the ministers expressed their support for Ukraine's aspirations to the EU and NATO membership Poland’s chief diplomat stressed the country’s determination to provide its eastern neighbour with further broad military and economic assistance The diplomats gave their approval to the 13th package of sanctions aimed at individuals and companies involved in Russia's arms industry The Weimar Triangle foreign ministers also discussed the problem of escalating Russian disinformation campaigns intended to sow distrust of democratic institutions and processes in the EU at the same time expressing their readiness to closely cooperate to counteract the Kremlin's propaganda.  "They tried hard in the UK before Brexit they tried hard in the US during several elections they tried hard in a number of our electoral campaigns We're going to have a series of election campaigns this year step up cooperation so that such methods are no longer successful," underlined Poland's top diplomat as part of the meeting's agenda the ministers also discussed the current situation in the Middle East and the migration challenges on the Mediterranean route More photographs of the meeting are available here The last meeting of the Weimar Triangle top diplomats took place in Weimar in 2021.  The Weimar Triangle itself was set up in Weimar in August 1991 by the then foreign ministers of Poland Its aim was to overcome the divisions in Europe by integrating Poland into European and Euro-Atlantic structures This objective was achieved when Poland joined NATO and then the EU has rejected to comment on criticism by Italian officials of French policy in Libya All of that is of interest,” Macron said when he was asked about recent Italian criticism of the French policy in Libya adding that the Italian people are their friends and deserve leaders who match their history The remarks came on Sunday on the sideline of Macron’s two-day visit to Egypt Italy’s Deputy Premier Luigi di Maio accused last week France of colonizing and impoverishing countries in Africa by linking the migrant crisis with the poverty created by France’s colonialism the French Foreign Ministry
