Kramp-Karrenbauer meets UN Secretary General Guterres in New York

The meeting at the headquarters of the United Nations will, among other things, deal with the Minusma mission in Mali. On Friday, twelve Bundeswehr soldiers were injured in an attack in the North African crisis country.

Kramp-Karrenbauer announced a thorough investigation of the events, but rejected criticism of the protection concept for German soldiers and calls for immediate changes to the mission in Mali. On Wednesday, the Minister will travel to Washington for bilateral talks with her US colleague Lloyd Austin and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
