Germany: Merkel, Kurz support 'outer border protection' to tackle migration
German Chancellor Angela Merkel welcomed her Austrian colleague Sebastian Kurz for a one-on-one meeting before the informal Salzburg summit next week in Berlin on Sunday.
Both leaders welcomed the new proposals of the President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker regarding the question of how to deal with migration, which Merkel called the "care of the outer border protection."
Merkel and Kurz also agreed on avoiding hard Brexit, which is thought to be one of the most important topics to be discussed between the two during the informal summit.
