YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Where is Germany really heading as it scrambles to diversify its foreign‑policy partnerships? And what does that shift look like from inside the government delegations themselves? In this episode of Berlin Briefing, Nina Haase talks to Jakob Hensing (Head of Political Economy, GPPi) about Germany’s evolving role in a tense, multipolar world. Richard Walker and Michaela Küfner join in to share rare first‑hand insights from traveling with German officials on diplomatic missions to the Indo‑Pacific and the Gulf — trips aimed at securing new energy sources, building fresh alliances, and reducing dependence on the usual big powers. Can Germany balance values with hard interests? And what did our correspondents witness behind the scenes that signals a deeper strategic pivot?
