Merkel in Paris for meeting on Greece with Hollande
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has arrived at the Elysee Palace for talks with French President Francois Hollande about the Greek crisis.
Hollande gave her a friendly greeting in the courtyard before heading for the meeting, which comes a day ahead of an emergency summit of the eurozone's 19 leaders on Greece.
The two are expected to issue a joint statement before the dinner that's likely to reflect the line to be taken at the summit. France has appeared more conciliatory than Germany toward Greece over the past few months of protracted bailout discussions.
