- Story Text: New Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta arrived in Berlin on Tuesday evening (April 30) where Chancellor Angela Merkel received him with military honours as is customary on a leader's first official visit to Germany.
Merkel and Letta later held a joint news conference before their working dinner.
Letta's visit to Germany was announced a day earlier and is part of the Italian premier's tour of several European cities, including Paris and Brussels.
Hours earlier in Rome, Letta won a final parliamentary confidence vote in his new coalition government, bringing to an end the prolonged political crisis since February's inconclusive election. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
