Berlin

In Germany, the “Land of Ideas”, we place major emphasis on education, science, research and development. This makes Germany one of the most popular countries in which to study, as well as a site for state-of-the art research and patent development. With its high quality of life, good infrastructure and central location in Europe, Germany is one of the world's most attractive bases for business. Its beautiful urban and rural landscapes, combining age-old traditions and experimental modern culture, make a trip to Germany a unique experience. Germany has something for everyone, so why not pay us a visit?

It is with great sadness that the Federal Foreign Office announces the passing of Ambassador Dr Stefan Friedrich Keil who died in Kingston on 16 December 2021 aged 63 years.
The staff of the Embassy are profoundly saddened by his sudden death.

Climate Change Conference: Focusing on the impact of climate change on security

Storms, drought, floods – climate change has devastating consequences. Human-induced global warming not only affects the environment but also has a huge impact on security. COP26 is therefore also focusing on the risks of climate change for peace and security.
