Strengthen international partnerships and UN city Bonn

The SPD wants to deepen the state's partnerships with Ghana and South Africa, promote fair trade, and consolidate Bonn as a UN city and second federal political center. It commits to a Europe of peace and disarmament and to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The SPD wants to work more closely with Ghana and South Africa. The focus is on climate protection and clean energy. Fair trade should get more support. The city of Bonn should become more important as a United Nations location. The SPD stands for peace and disarmament in Europe.

Cooperation with Ghana and South Africa is to focus on sustainable business and climate protection with renewable energy and green hydrogen; the SPD also expects benefits for local industry. Town and school partnerships and exchanges in research and training are to grow. Fair trade initiatives are to receive funding and a statewide network. Public contracts by the state and municipalities should again give more weight to social, environmental and human rights standards. The SPD wants to conclude a Bonn treaty with the federal government as a binding addition to the Bonn-Berlin Act.
