French President Emmanuel Macron has told the German parliament that his country must work with Berlin to make a stronger Europe. <br /> His remarks come as he and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have used a series of war anniversaries to push back against what they call growing nationalism. <br /><br /> "We owe our new responsibility of action to Europe, and we owe it to the world because our world is at a crossroads…… Europe, and within it, the Franco-German alliance, are invested on this obligation to not let the world slip into chaos, but to accompany it on the way of peace."<br /><br /> Merkel said she supports some of Macron's European reform plans, including a European army.<br />But other proposals are not so popular within Berlin. <br />The two leaders met for talks after Macron's speech, and were set to discuss migration, defense cooperation and economic measures.<br />Macron was the first French president to address the Bundestag in 18 years. <br />
