Dr. Reichel stated that addressing the threat of climate change is a top concern for Germany in his first meeting with local media since taking up the position two months ago.
Germany has already seen the effects of climate change, similar to Thailand, with dry seasons and more frequent violent storms that result in severe flooding.

Following the panic attacks by Hamas on October 7 that claimed the lives of more than 1,400 people, including infants, women, and the old, the adviser also spoke on the Israel-Hamas conflict and stated that Germany supports Israel in exercising its right to self-defense.
34 Thai staff were cruelly killed, and Hamas took an additional 24 as captives.
Yet though Hamas violates the equal laws in numerous ways, we still hold Israel to the standard of international humanitarian law, according to Dr. Reichel.
The embassy even emphasized the crucial aspect of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, arguing that Ukraine is battling to survive.
He emphasized that the Soviet invasion violates the UN Charter’s established global surveillance border.
Regarding Thailand’s republic, he stated that based on his observations, convictions in cases involving the der majeste law are still occurring and there hasn’t been any discernible change in that regard.
