Germany releases 1st National Security Strategy

This week Germany released its first National Security Strategy. In this National Security Strategy, the Federal Government describes what this means for us now and what conclusions we draw from that in order to ensure the security of our country and its people in the future. The Federal Government firmly believes that this aim can be achieved through a policy of Integrated Security. By this we mean the collaborative interaction of all relevant actors, resources and instruments that, in combination, can comprehensively guarantee the security of our country and strengthen it against external threats.

As the most populous country and the largest economy in the heart of Europe, Germany bears special responsibility for peace, security, prosperity and stability, as well as for the sustainable use of our natural resources. We also assume this responsibility in awareness of our history. That is why we are grateful for the reconciliation with our European neighbours and why we will continue to take on responsibility for Israel’s right to exist.
