German Chancellor Angela Merkel will travel to Ankara on Monday to meet with Turkey's Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu as she tries to curb the migrant flow into Europe, international newswires have reported.
The decision on the visit had been taken when Merkel and Davutoglu met on the sidelines of the Supporting Syria and the Region donor conference in London earlier this week, the AP quoted German government spokesman Steffen Seibert as saying on Friday.
The two leaders will discuss the implementation of the EU-Turkey action plan agreed in November which envisages stopping the flow of irregular migrants to EU member states and keeping them in Turkey, in return for a EUR 3 B assistance package to be provided to Ankara.
Merkel and Davutoglu will discuss aspects of the plan that have not yet been implemented as well as possible ways “to make progress on reducing illegal migration and replacing it with legal migration,” Seibert said, according to AFP.
