The leaders of France and Germany will try to define common positions on the EU’s agenda for the next five years.
French President Emmanuel Macron heads to Germany on Sunday for a three-day state visit. Reuters reported this on May 26.
It is indicated that this will be the first trip of this level for the French President to Germany in the last 24 years. Macron will visit Berlin, Dresden and Münster.
“A bilateral cabinet meeting will take place as the EU’s two largest countries seek to show unity ahead of parliamentary elections due next month,” it said.
Aside from bilateral issues, during Macron’s visit and government talks, France and Germany will try to define common positions on the EU’s agenda for the next five years.
It is noted that Macron’s visit is seen as a gesture to show the unity of the two countries. It is considered a test of the “health” of French-German relations, because for a long time there have been disagreements between Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, covering a number of areas.
In particular, Macron promotes the idea of greater European self-sufficiency in defense matters, and Scholz believes that Europeans do not have a reliable alternative to US support and that Europe does not have time to wait for the revival of its own defense industry.
Earlier, Emmanuel Macron named the condition for European security. He said Europeans are facing a Russia “with a power that has lost its restraint and no longer wants to tell us what its limits are.”
