Chancellor Angela Merkel, in a red gown, congratulates relaxed and happy students in academic dress. In the background a number of standards fly.

30 May: The Chancellor gave a speech at Harvard University, Massachusetts, USA. In it she advocated international cooperation and mutual respect. She called for joint action and exhorted her audience to think in terms of international contexts. Lies must not be called truths and truths must not be called lies - that was her message to students. She was awarded an honorary doctorate from Harvard Law School.
