✈️ Great to catch up with friends and partners in Berlin! 😊

🇦🇺 Air Marshal Stephen Chappell met with numerous high level 🇩🇪officials on the sidelines of the Luftwaffe Air and Space Chiefs Conference at Berlin Air Show – one of the world's leading aviation and space exhibitions showcasing the latest innovations in , and international cooperation.

Germany and Australia share a strong and enduring defence partnership. We greatly value the ongoing opportunity to train at Base Pearce in Perth and deepen cooperation between our air forces.

Statement by Chancellor Friedrich Merz, President Emmanuel Macron, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Prime Minister Keir Starmer and others on the MoU between the US and Iran on Monday, 15 June 2026:

We warmly welcome the announcement of the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran. We congratulate the United States, the Iranian government and all those involved, including Pakistan, Qatar and all other mediators, on this diplomatic breakthrough.

This is a moment of opportunity to restore regional stability and stabilise the global economy.

It is now vital that the detailed negotiations are concluded and this agreement is implemented rapidly and comprehensively. We are ready to support that effort.

The urgent re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz with unconditional and unrestricted freedom of navigation is essential. We are committed to playing our part to achieve this – in accordance with our respective constitutional requirements – including through a strictly defensive and independent mission to reassure commercial shipping and conduct mine clearance operations.

Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon. We stand ready to work with the US, Iran and the IAEA to this end. We are prepared to lift relevant sanctions in response to clear, verifiable steps by Iran on its nuclear programme.

We will work intensively with the US, Iran and regional partners to seize this moment, maintain momentum and achieve a long-term diplomatic settlement.
We also reaffirm our full support to the stability, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon and the importance of a robust ceasefire.
