Berlin (EFE).- German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron reaffirmed their commitment to defense cooperation during a Franco-German cabinet meeting on Friday, further strengthening ties between Berlin and Paris.
The second ministerial meeting of its kind, co-chaired by the two leaders, took place at Augustusburg Castle, an 18th-century structure in western Germany.
Merz gave no relevance to the FCAS project, which failed in June to develop a sixth-generation fighter jet.
Nuclear exercises
«For the first time, we will participate in French nuclear exercises in a conventional capacity to see how we can improve our cooperation. We’re taking it step by step. There may ultimately be a new doctrine, but it’s too early to say,” stated Merz.
