FRANKFURT (Reuters) - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz called for the country to be confident about modernising its society and economy ahead of a two-day cabinet meeting that will tackle topics including climate policy, war in Ukraine and digitisation.

"We will talk about how a society that has so much on the agenda can become and remain confident, because the basis for doing anything is to think that one is capable of it," Scholz told reporters on Sunday outside Meseberg castle near Berlin.
