Interview: From Moscow to the Pacific
from Asia Rising Hosted by Asia Rising
Few diplomatic careers span Moscow during the invasion of Ukraine, the remote islands of the Pacific, and Canberra. Germany's Ambassador to Australia, Beate Grzeski, has lived all three - and the thread connecting them says something about how the world is changing. In this episode, Ambassador Grzeski reflects on her journey from Deputy Head of Mission in Moscow to Germany's inaugural Special Envoy for the Pacific Island States, discussing what drew Berlin's attention to a region it had long overlooked, the challenges of building meaningful partnerships with Pacific communities, and what climate mobility means for the future of the region. Guest: Beate Grzeski (Ambassador of Germany to Australia) Recorded 26th August, 2026.
