Referring to the wars in Ukraine and Iran, Wadephul also called for renewed efforts to bring the parties back to the negotiating table. “We should now make a very serious effort to resolve both conflicts,” he said, adding that neither conflict will be decided on the battlefield, “but at the negotiating table – and the sooner that happens, the better for the people affected”.
