German-American friendship is a common treasure that needs to be further nurtured, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in a press release on the occasion of the US presidential election in Berlin on Monday.
He stressed that by decision of the electorate, the next president of the United States will be Joe Biden, who will begin his work with decades of experience in domestic and foreign policy and knows Germany and Europe well. She added her sincere congratulations to the president-elect and also to Vice President Kamala Harris, who “as the first woman in office and the daughter of immigrants, is an inspiration to many people and an example of the opportunities that America has offered.”
He stressed that the Germans had experienced in their own skin the importance of the United States in freedom and democracy. They also directly experienced the importance of German-American friendship and transatlantic partnership for Germany, Europe, and the world.
He pointed out that exactly thirty-one years ago, the fall of the Berlin Wall began on November 9, 1989, and just a few weeks ago, on October 3, the 30th anniversary of the reunification of Germany was celebrated. The reunification “could not have happened without the confidence of the Americans,” stressed the German chancellor.
This trust and this friendship are necessary for many years. The two countries are also linked by common values, human dignity, democracy, the rule of law, and common interests.
“The United States and Germany, as members of the European Union, must stand together so that we can overcome the great challenges of our time,” Angela Merkel said.
He stressed that the United States is Germany’s “most important ally”, but also rightly hopes that Germany and other European partners will do more for its security and uphold its beliefs.
“We Europeans have already embarked on this journey,” Angela Merkel said.
He congratulated Joe Biden, among others, on Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who emphasized that the president-elect represents an America that “values the value of alliances, friends, trust and confidence.”
Joe Biden has high hopes for his presidency, far beyond the borders of the United States, “hope for new cooperation, calm, insightful thinking and constant work to solve the problems of a troubled world,” said the German federal president.
He stressed that Germany is ready to work with the future president “for a better, more peaceful and just world.”
