From 2015 until 2017, she was Germany's Special Representative of the Federal Government for Afghanistan and Pakistan.[1][2] In 2023 she was involved in an international political scandal when she, as Germany's Ambassador to Canada, participated in a standing ovation given to Yaroslav Hunka, an SS Division Galicia veteran, during the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Canadian parliament.
