German FM Says Prefers Britain to Stay United
Germany's foreign minister said Thursday he would prefer to see Britain remain united after Scotland's independence vote but said it wasn't for him to wade into Britain's domestic matters.
Frank-Walter Steinmeier was asked about the historic referendum to be held in Scotland on September 18 at a joint press conference with his British counterpart Philip Hammond.
"I think it's good advice for a German foreign minister not to meddle in British internal politics, but I openly admit, I would prefer to imagine that Britain remains unified," Steinmeier told reporters.
