Merkel: EU must work with Turkey on migrants
Germany has taken in most and Merkel insists Europe must welcome more, if no longer with open arms at least with a charitable attitude.
Merkel is looking increasingly isolated with her demands for a fair distribution of migrants among European Union members and for ensuring Turkey cooperates to stem the flow of people arriving in Europe.
Cameron's Conservative Party has pledged to hold a national referendum by the end of 2017 on continued membership in the European Union.
"Now is undeniably not the time to make a major step forward but we can achieve improvements here and there and we agreed Germany will help in terms of financial support", she said.
"As a member of the EU, Germany is trying hard to pursue a realistic approach", said Merkel.
Iwata, Kang tied for lead
Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose remain in contention at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am following another exciting day in California. The same fate faces defending champion Brandt Snedeker, who shot his second straight even-par round and was tied with Johnson.
Ms Merkel said Britain is an ally for Germany in promoting competitiveness and free trade, and that "Europe needs Great Britain's foreign and security policy commitment to assert our values and interests in the world".
Ms Merkel made clear she will not be pushing the contentious subject of new quotas to distribute migrants around Europe. She reiterated that it would be "laughable" for Europe to approve such quotas when it has barely started to share refugees under existing agreements.
That included 900 kilometers (560 miles) of maritime frontier between Greece and Turkey, she said, as well as Italy's Mediterranean border crossed by migrants arriving from Libya.
The talks, which include European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker, will focus on "resettlement" of refugees based in Turkey who have fled the Syrian civil war, a Juncker spokeswoman Mina Andreeva said.
Merkel has been under huge pressure at home to reduce refugee inflows.
Obama hosts Southeast Asian leaders in first summit to promote economic ties
In this case, said senior Obama aides, the president primarily wants to strengthen ASEAN and US ties to the organization. Terrorism inspired by the Islamic State group is of increasing concern in the region.
"We believe we have to move forward in a process of peaceful coexistence" which "is based on a two-state solution", said Merkel.
"I think that's wonderful", she said.
Junker was speaking ahead of a two-day summit in Brussels starting Thursday in which the Chancellor is set to face a fierce battle with the so-called Visegrad Four - Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary - who have openly defied her refugee policy.
Another European official said a main source of tension was the length of time that Britain's limit on welfare benefits for EU workers would last.
