"Arriving at the Brussels summit, the German chancellor said she wanted negotiations to be "quick" and "intense". 

She said: "I want to say clearly that, for me, shaping the future for the 27 takes priority over the negotiations with Great Britain over withdrawal.

"Naturally we will conduct these negotiations quickly and we will conduct them intensively. We will do everything to ensure that - as has been successfully done so far - the 27 states stick together.

"We want this negotiation to take place in a good spirit. We know that we will want to work with Great Britain later. But the clear focus must be on the future of the 27, so that we have the best results.

"Of course we will conduct these negotiations quickly, we will conduct them intensively. We will do everything to continue to keep the 27 member states together, like we have managed up until now.

Mrs Merkel also spoke about the close relationship she hopes Germany will develop with new French president Emmanuel Macron, who many say will bring back together the crumbling bloc.

The europhile has also vowed to take a tough stance on Brexit Britain. 

She said: "We will have the French President here with us for the first time. I'm looking forward to our cooperation because I believe that especially creativity and new impulses coming from France and Germany can be good for everyone. 

Merkel also spoke kindly of new French president Emmanuel Macron 

"The world isn't waiting for us. Europe is not at the front in this aspect and we have to have the aspiration to be at the front."

Angela Merkel has always been one of Britain’s fiercest critics after the nation voted to unshackle itself from the bloc in June last year. 

Earlier this year, she hit out at Britain and the US saying they are no longer reliable partners and Europe had to “take its fate into its own hands”.
