Macron meets Merkel on May 15 in Berlin
Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Berlin Monday, a day after his inauguration as French president, aims at stressing the importance of the relationship with Germany to relaunch the European project, an aide to Macron said, confirming the visit, reports Reuters.
“We want to work together on a few priorities: security, economy, investment and social protection,” the aide told Reuters on Friday.
Like outgoing Socialist President Francois Hollande in 2012, Macron’s Monday meeting with Merkel will be his first overseas port of call since winning the May 7 election.
