BRUSSELS (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Thursday she hoped talks with Britain over its exit from the European Union would be held in a good spirit, but said the focus would be on securing the future for the remaining 27 EU members.
"Of course we will hold talks that are speedy. We will have intensive talks. We will do all we can, as has happened until now, to keep the EU 27 countries together," Merkel told reporters on arriving for an EU leaders summit in Brussels.
