German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier met with the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross Peter Maurer in Berlin, on Wednesday, to discuss Germany's contribution to the humanitarian aid organisation.
During a joint press conference, Steinmeier praised the Red Cross for their work in conflict zones around the world.
Maurer stressed that, while the Red Cross is often found operating in areas of political turmoil, their work is purely humanitarian and not political. He said, "We see ourselves as humanitarian agents, although I am greatly aware that the political conflicts, which lie behind these military disputes, cannot be solved by humanitarians. And there are no humanitarian solutions for these political conflicts; there are only political solutions."
