Merkel to meet Macron in Marseille amid EU immigration row

Emmanuel Macron will host German Chancellor Angela Merkel in the Mediterranean port city of Marseille on Friday, a French official said, seeking support as he takes on nationalist EU leaders over immigration and institutional reforms, France 24 reported.

The meeting will focus on "European subjects including the euro, migration, technology and the international situation," the official in the French presidency told AFP on Monday.

He did not explain why the two leaders were meeting in Marseille instead of the French capital, or give other details of the visit.
