Prime Minister Joseph Muscat meets Angela Merkel ahead of Presidency

Prime Minister Joseph Muscat has met with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin to discuss, among other things, the EU Council Presidency.

This meeting took place after Dr Muscat's visit to meet with the French and Irish leaders. Merkel said she looks forward to the Maltese presidency and said that Malta's geographical position will help with discussing certain agendas, namely immigration.

Joseph Muscat said that the Maltese Presidency will be a pragmatic one. On migration, the two leaders agreed that this is an evolving problem as political instability still reins in Libya.
