France's President Emmanuel Macron vowed Thursday that he was working hard to repair strained ties with Germany and to preserve the alliance underpinning EU unity. His remarks come after a regular Franco-German summit was postponed until January when Berlin indicated that it needed "more time" to find common ground with Paris on a range of issues.
"For me, my wish has always been to preserve European unity and also the friendship and the alliance between France and Germany," Macron said, ahead of an EU summit.
