PARIS--French President Francois Hollande is set to meet
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi Monday in Paris, days
before the EU summit to be held on June 28 and 29, amidst the
ongoing euro-zone crisis.
Earlier this week, Mr. Hollande said at a press conference in
Los Cabos, Mexico, that talks would be held with the ECB, "in
complete respect of its independence", and underlined that the ECB
could continue to play a part in the resolution of the euro-zone
crisis.
The meeting between the French head of state and the ECB
president will intervene days after leaders of the euro zone's four
biggest economies renewed calls for firmer political collaboration,
as they met for a presummit meeting in Rome on Friday.
