French president Nicolas Sarkozy has met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel to discuss how to boost economic growth in the eurozone and to finalize a deal on tougher budget controls in the single currency area.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said it is important for the eurozone to approve a vital second bailout for Greece as the country struggles to implement austerity measures. "We want Greece to stay in the eurozone," Merkel said on Monday at a joint press conference in Berlin with French President Nicolas Sarkozy. The two leaders held New Year talks about how to stabilize the eurozone debt crisis, boost economic growth and curb rising unemployment.
