🕊️ A free press informs, empowers, and protects.
On World Press Freedom Day, we stand with journalists and media workers who pursue truth, often in the face of risk and pressure.

Germany reaffirms its support for press freedom in Sri Lanka and around the world — because open societies depend on it.
