The three parties in Germany's governing coalition have resolved the main issues of conflict and good results can be expected, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Tuesday, after 20-hour talks between the parties failed to reach a final agreement a day earlier. "It will have been worth it," Scholz said in a joint conference with Kenyan President William Ruto in Berlin, adding that further talks would be focused on hashing out further details.

The talks, which started at 1830 CET on Sunday between Scholz's Social Democrats, the Greens and pro-business Free Democrats (FDP) over various policy initiatives, will contain many surprising results, Scholz said. "I am very happy about these talks. We're constantly making progress. We have long since resolved the main issues that needed to be resolved," he added.
