(AFP) Emmanuel Macron will host German Chancellor Angela Merkel in the Mediterranean port city of Marseille on Friday, a French official said, seeking support as he takes on nationalist EU leaders over immigration and institutional reforms.
The meeting will focus on “European subjects including the euro, migration, technology and the international situation,” the official in the French presidency told AFP on Monday.
He did not explain why the two leaders were meeting in Marseille instead of the French capital, or give other details of the visit.
Their talks will come after a trip by Macron to Luxembourg on Thursday to consult with the prime ministers of Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands on efforts to deepen European integration.
