Berlin (dpa) – French President Emmanuel Macron will travel to Berlin on Monday for the first time since his re-election, for talks with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
The war in Ukraine and European sovereignty – with a particular focus on defence and energy supply – will dominate the discussion, sources in the Élysée Palace said.
Other topics that will feature in the meeting, set to begin at 6 pm (1600 GMT), include the situation in the African Sahel region, the countries’ relationship with Balkan countries and EU policy towards China.
A fortnight ago, Macron was re-elected to serve another five-year term as president.
The inaugural visit so shortly after the election is proof of how important the Franco-German relationship is, Élysée Palace sources said.
