November 19, Pozirk<\/em>. <\/strong>Germany\u2019s charg\u00e9 d\u2019affaires in Belarus, Katrin aus dem Siepen, has presented copies of her credentials to Foreign Minister Maksim Ry\u017eanko\u016d, the foreign ministry reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The diplomats discussed prospects of Belarusian-German relations amid current international and regional developments, it noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ry\u017eanko\u016d reportedly declared Minsk’s readiness to establish a pragmatic and equal dialogue with Germany and the European Union “based on mutual respect and consideration of the interests of both sides.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most EU countries are represented by charg\u00e9 d\u2019affaires in Belarus following the crackdown on 2020 postelection protests and politically-motivated reprisals that followed. Hungary and Slovakia are the two EU countries represented by ambassadors in Minsk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aus dem Siepen took over as head of the German embassy in Belarus in October. Like her predecessor, Andrea Wiktorin, the new head of the German diplomatic mission is not an ambassador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
