Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Distinguish Template:Infobox Geopolitical organization The Weimar Triangle (Template:Langx; Template:Langx; Template:Langx) is a regional alliance of France, Germany, and Poland created in 1991 in the German city of Weimar. The group is intended to promote co-operation between the three countries in cross-border and European issues.<ref name="eubusiness" />

It exists mostly in the form of summit meetings between the leaders of the three countries, and of their foreign ministers. The collaboration between member states includes inter-parliamentary contacts and military, scientific, and cultural cooperation.

History

1990s

The Weimar Triangle was established in the German city of Weimar in 1991, aimed at assisting Poland's emergence from Communist rule. Attending the meeting were the Foreign Ministers of each state: Roland Dumas of France, Hans-Dietrich Genscher of Germany, and Krzysztof Skubiszewski of Poland.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="bf1">Template:Cite news</ref> Genscher chose Weimar for the inaugural meeting because it was situated in former East Germany.<ref name="independent.co.uk">Sarah Helm (23 May 1996), 'Weimar Triangle' takes shape for power The Independent.</ref>

At the 1992 meeting of the Weimar Triangle in France, Poland won agreement from Germany and France that it should have special association status at the Western European Union, the European arm of NATO.<ref name="independent.co.uk" />

2000s

Apart from regular meetings of ministers of foreign affairs and occasional summits of the countries' leaders, no major changes or decisions were made in the first decade of the twenty-first century in the Weimar Triangle.

2010s

At the 2011 summit hosted by President Bronisław Komorowski of Poland and attended by President Nicolas Sarkozy (France) and Chancellor Angela Merkel (Germany), the three leaders discussed issues of renewing regular Weimar Triangle meetings and improving relations with Russia (among other topics). Both Germany and France urged Poland to join the Pact for Competitiveness.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

On 5 July 2011, France, Germany, and Poland signed an agreement in Brussels to put together a unit of 1,700 soldiers under Polish command, called the Weimar Battlegroup, that was to be ready to deploy in crisis zones starting in 2013. The operational command centre was to be based in Mont Valerien, located in a Paris suburb.<ref name="eubusiness">AFP, Germany, France and Poland form EU battlegroup EUbusiness.

Shortly after the referendum on the status of Crimea held on 16 March 2014, the chairpersons of the Weimar Triangle parliament's committees on foreign affairs – Elisabeth Guigou of France, Norbert Röttgen of Germany and Grzegorz Schetyna of Poland – visited Kyiv to express their countries’ firm support of the territorial integrity and the European integration of Ukraine.<ref>Weimar Triangle countries support the territorial integrity and European integration of Ukraine Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, press release of 11 April 2014.</ref> This was the first time that parliamentarians of the Weimar Triangle had ever made a joint trip to a third country.<ref>Parlamentarier des Weimarer Dreiecks: Röttgen, Guigou und Schetyna in Kiew Bundestag, press release of 8 April 2014.</ref>

In April 2016, Poland's foreign minister Witold Waszczykowski told daily newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza that the Weimar Triangle had lost its relevance for his country.<ref>Matthias Szczerbaniewicz (6 April 2016), "Weimarer Dreieck" beendet: Polens Abkehr vom alten Europa ZDF.</ref>

On 28 August 2016, representatives of the three countries vowed to "reinvigorate" the Weimar Triangle. German foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the group would meet before the end of 2016, and French foreign minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said France would host a summit in November 2016. The stated reasoning for this reinvigoration were the decision of the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, as well as the ongoing European migrant crisis.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

2020s

On 8 February 2022, Presidents Emmanuel Macron, Andrzej Duda and Chancellor Olaf Scholz met in Berlin to discuss security cooperation in the face of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian crisis. This was the first such trilateral meeting between the three heads of state or government in many years, and was seen as a step towards strengthening the Weimar Triangle format. At the meeting, Duda appealed for unity among European leaders saying that "We must show that we speak in one voice". Scholz stressed that any violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity was "unacceptable" and would have "far-reaching consequences for Russia in political, economic and geo-strategic dimensions" while President Macron reinforced France's determination to use diplomatic efforts which he said were "the only path to end the conflict around Ukraine."<ref name="thefirstnews.com">Template:Cite web</ref> On 24 February the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine began.

On 12 June 2023, the leaders of the Weimar Triangle, Scholz, Macron and Duda met at the group's summit held in Paris to discuss a number of foreign policy issues the most important of which was the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The leaders reaffirmed their "unwavering support" for Ukraine and declared to assist the country in its defence efforts against Russia’s aggression politically, with humanitarian aid, financially and also by supplying arms.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Among the topics discussed was also Ukraine’s future membership in the European Union and the NATO alliance.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

On 27 June 2023, the German Minister of Finance Christian Lindner convened the first meeting of the finance ministers since 2017. The invasion of Ukraine was the reason for the revived interest in this format. Lindner, Bruno Le Maire and Magdalena Rzeczkowska discussed the union of their capital markets.<ref name="bfm2">Template:Cite news</ref>

As the Fall of Avdiivka culminated,<ref name=pk1/> at the meeting of Weimar Triangle heads in Berlin on 12 February 2024 Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk hinted that his country might join the European Sky Shield Initiative project headed by Germany, notable especially in the wake of comments on the future of NATO by American presidential candidate Donald Trump.<ref name="eura1">Template:Cite news</ref> The foreign ministers, who also met that day in La Celle-Saint-Cloud,<ref name="hindu1">Template:Cite news</ref> called amongst other things for a "Weimar of citizens", a "Weimar of youth", a "Weimar of excellence" and a "Weimar of culture".<ref name="diplo1">Template:Cite news</ref>

On 15 March 2024, a summit of Weimar Triangle was held in Berlin with Macron, Scholz and Tusk in attendance. The leaders stressed that they remained united over their stance on Europe's response to Russia's war in Ukraine. The leaders also announced a "capacity coalition" to provide long-distance artillery to Ukraine would be established, while declaring to "never prompt escalation" there. Chancellor Scholz stated that the three countries wanted to make sure that Ukraine could be capable of defending itself against Russia's invasion.<ref name=pk1>Template:Cite web</ref> Other journalists were keen to quote Scholz as having said at the "hastily arranged summit" that a "coalition for long-range rocket artillery" was then formed and that "starting immediately, we will procure even more weapons for Ukraine, on the overall world market."<ref name="indy1">Template:Cite news</ref> Another journalist was surprised that the leaders did not take questions from the press.<ref name="eura3">Template:Cite news</ref>

On 7 November 2024, the leaders of the Weimar Triangle issued a joint statement expressing concern over the 2024 Georgian parliamentary election calling for "swift and transparent investigations of all complaints and reports of election-related irregularities"<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and the reversal of the Russian-inspired legislation.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> On 31 December 2024, the Weimar Triangle foreign ministers made another statement about the overall political crisis, adding their concern about "violence against peaceful protesters, media and opposition leaders" and "[t]he political course of repression and democratic backsliding by the Georgian Dream" and stating that they were "determin[ed] to support the democratic and European aspirations of the Georgian people".<ref name="WeimarTriangle_statement_GE_2024Dec31">Template:Cite Q</ref>
