Merkel, facing Iraq hostage crisis, charts course for Germany

"Who would have thought that the highest governmental office would be given to a woman this year already?" Merkel said.

She said her foreign policy would be driven by human rights concerns, "even with trade partners with great potential."

She called for a "close, honest, open and trusting relationship" with the United States, and said she expected a quick response to European demands for information on reports of secret CIA prisons for terror suspects in Europe and clandestine transports of prisoners via Europe.

On Iran's controversial nuclear program, Merkel said Germany was committed to working with its European Union partners Britain and France to achieve a peaceful solution to the conflict with Tehran.

She said recent calls by hardline Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for Israel to be "wiped off the map" were "unacceptable in every sense."

Merkel said she was committed to social justice in Germany, brushing aside criticism from the political left that she would dismantle the country's vaunted welfare system.

"Helping the weak is just. What is unjust is when the strong pretend to be weak and thus exploit society," she said, referring to a plan to crack down on abuse of the country's generous benefit payments.

In response, the leader of the liberal pro-business Free Democrats, Guido Westerwelle, opened the opposition party rebuttals with a sharp attack on the government's controversial proposal to hike the main value-added tax by three points to 19 percent from 2007.

"Tax increases take away freedom from our citizens," he said in a play on Merkel's "freedom" line.
