16 May 2023, Iceland, Reykjavik: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD, back M) stands with Irakli Garibashvili (back r), Prime Minister of Georgia, Denys Shmyhal (3rd from left), Prime Minister of Ukraine, Charles Michel (2nd from right), President of the European Council, and Emmanuel Macron (l), President of France, for the family photo at the Council of Europe summit. This is only the fourth time in the more than 70-year history of the Council of Europe that the heads of state and government of the member countries have met. The agenda includes support for Ukraine and respect for human rights in member countries. The Council of Europe is independent of the EU and aims to ensure respect for human rights with its 46 member states. Photo: Kay Nietfeld/dpa
