Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, on a week long trip to Europe and the Middle East, laid out the foreign policy objectives of his campaign in a speech given at the famous "Victory Column" in Berlin's Tiergarten park. In the speech, Obama urged Europe to stand by the US in bringing stability to Afghanistan and confronting other threats from climate change to nuclear proliferation.

Throughout the speech Obama stressed co-operation with European allies. Obama, who is highly popular in Germany, spoke at length of the historic ties between the United States and Germany, touching on the Berlin airlift 60 years ago and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.

He also discussed the ongoing nuclear stand-off with Iran, saying that Europe and the US needed to stand together to send Iran a message that it must abandon its nuclear ambitions. Obama has stressed the need to talk with the regime in Tehran, a highly controversial move that has put him at odds with many in the current administration.

His trip has taken him to Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Israel and the Palestinian territories. Obama is expected to stop in France and Great Britain before returning to the United States.
