On 2 December 2025, the ambassadors newly accredited in Berlin during the previous autumn and winter were invited to a reception. The joint event hosted by the Waldorf Astoria Berlin and Diplomatisches Magazin took place, as usual, in the suite on the 31st floor of the hotel, whose panoramic windows on all sides offered a breathtaking view of the festively decorated West Berlin cityscape. In a relaxed gathering, there was time and opportunity to get to know one another and to exchange ideas.
