I am delighted that we had an opportunity to continue our dialogue on migration and integration today. We have held discussions on an equal footing about common European solutions in the area of refugees, migration and integration. Our cooperation with Czechia is very constructive indeed and is taking place in a spirit of mutual trust. While we do not always share the same opinion with regard to migration policy, we are reaching out to each other and working together in a solution‑oriented manner. We agree that unilateral actions, mutual accusations and anti‑European slogans will not get us anywhere.

Today, we primarily focused on questions relating to integrating migrants into the labour market. Through focusing on success stories in the area of integration, we were able to demonstrate the opportunities and potential offered by migration. What is more, we also engaged in critical reflection on where there is room for improvement. The close and frequent consultations taking place between Prague and Berlin have highlighted the common ground between us time and again. Our cooperation is beginning to bear fruit in the form of a joint refugee project in Jordan. This demonstrates the tangible impact of our cooperation and friendship.
