Madrid (dpa) – German Chancellor Angela Merkel will visit Spain this weekend for talks with the country’s prime minister on migration and other key European issues.
The informal meeting between Merkel and premier Pedro Sanchez on Saturday and Sunday is to take place in the Donana national park near Seville, the Spanish government said.
Germany and Spain have a “joint approach” to the migration question, officials said.
Other topics of European concern will figure in the talks, including the pursuit of a full economic and currency union.
Socialist party chief Sanchez has only been prime minister since June 1, when he replaced his conservative predecessor Mariano Rajoy, who was defeated in a no-confidence vote.
