  • Story Text: INTRO: Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar has met Chancellor Helmut Kohl for talks in Germany.

    Kohl welcomed Aznar as he arrived in Frankfurt airport on Tuesday (October 15) afternoon. The two leaders then visited the cathedral in the nearby town of Speyer, before travelling on to the southern city of Heidelberg for talks.

    "There is no fixed agenda. But the talks are likely to focus on the European union as well as other themes," said a German government spokesman.

    Diplomatic sources said the talks would probably focus on the single European currency.

    The government spokesman said that Kohl had invited Aznar to his home German state of Rhineland-Palatinate as part of his effort to keep up personal contact with EU leaders.

    The leaders of the European Union members states meet in December in Dublin to discuss the Europe's future and determine which states are likely to qualify for the single currency.
