Start the day the #Calgary way with flipping some pancakes! This was great fun. #CalgaryStampede

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” A courageous document then. Inspiring still today. Happy b/day 🇺🇸!

It was a pleasure to touch base again with Premier Danielle Smith yesterday. We talked about investment climate, 🇩🇪 business champions creating jobs for Albertans and future opportunities for cooperation between 🇩🇪 and a strong Alberta in a united 🇨🇦.

Good Morning #CalgaryStampede! Great fun to be here - my first!

Happy 🇨🇦 Day to all Canadians here and abroad. To this proud country and to our friendship! Greetings also from the 🇩🇪 Armed Forces Guard Battalion marching for 🇨🇦 Day this morning in #Halifax.

Semiconductors are the foundation of modern digital infrastructure. As demand for advanced computing, ai & connected technologies increases, resilient supply chains are crucially important. This is why 🇩🇪 & 🇨🇦 are intensifying our cooperation in the semiconductor sector. www.canada.ca/en/innovatio...

What an incredible evening: @nac-cna.bsky.social went wild tonight after a breathtaking performance of Mahler’s “Resurrection” conducted by Maestro Shelley. Shelley paid homage to 🇨🇦 at the reception after - just as we know him: a truly wonderful & inspiring spirit.

Is there a business case for 🇨🇦 to produce sustainable aviation fuel? What are useful incentives to help the aviation industry grow? Some of the many topics discussed today between 🇩🇪 Transport State Secretary Schnorr, DM Vandergrift / Transport Canada and other stakeholders.

🇩🇪 is 🇨🇦’s anchor partner in AI through the Sovereign Technology Alliance. Exciting to launch G+D’s new AI Hub @mila-quebec.bsky.social with Minister @evansolomon.bsky.social yesterday in Montreal. 175 years of 🇩🇪 family business meet 🇨🇦 AI excellence for future security tech. www.gi-de.com/en/

A plant to stay for generations. Loved today’s opening of CGC’s new wallboard plant in Wheatland County. Part of 🇩🇪 knauf.com, the 210 mio. investment creates jobs for Albertans, supply chain reliability for Western 🇨🇦’s housing sector + perspective for the County’s youth!

More elegant than a submarine: meet the FGS Gorch Fock, the 🇩🇪 navy’s sail training ship. In #Halifax from 30 July. Don’t miss it! On her way to 🇨🇦, the Gorch Fock just encountered her 🇵🇹 sister ship, the NRP Sagres, near Bermuda. Both built by Bloom+Voss in Hamburg.
