China News Service, August 11, according to Reuters, a European diplomat revealed on the 10th that German Chancellor Merkel planned to visit French President Macron’s summer house on the Mediterranean coast around August 20.
According to the report, this is another meeting between the two leaders of Germany and France since the EU reached an agreement on the largest economic recovery expenditure plan in history. This meeting will be another sign that the relations between Germany and France are once again active.
On July 17, local time, in Brussels, Belgium, French President Macron and German Chancellor Merkel attended the EU face-to-face summit.
Some European diplomats said that the "rejuvenation" of the relationship between the EU's two most powerful leaders may help push the EU to deal with other difficult issues, such as digital taxes or US tariffs. However, some people question whether the two sides can make significant progress when Merkel's term of office is about to end in 2021.
However, an official in Macron's office refused to confirm that Merkel would be visiting.
According to reports, Macron used to receive several foreign dignitaries, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and former British Prime Minister Theresa May, only at Fort Bregançon, the summer residence of the president in southern France.
