PARIS/BERLIN (WAM)
French President Emanuel Macron lands in Germany on Sunday for a three-day state visit followed by a bilateral cabinet meeting, Reuters reported on Sunday.
The European Union's two biggest powers seek to show unity ahead of next month's EU parliamentary elections.
Macron, accompanied on his trip by his wife Brigitte, will start his visit on Sunday meeting in Berlin with the German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier before walking through the landmark Brandenburg Gate with the city's mayor, Kai Wegner.
But perhaps the most significant part of his trip will be the cabinet meeting on Tuesday in Meseberg, just outside Berlin, where the two governments will then get down to business.
Both countries will also try to find common ground on the EU agenda for the next five years, in view of the expected strong showing for the 2024 European Parliament election, taking place from June 6 to 9.
