Merkel to meet IMF chief in euro crisis flurry

German Chancellor Angela Merkel was due to meet IMF chief Christine Lagarde here later Tuesday for talks set to focus on Greece as it races to reduce its debt in a bid to secure more aid.

A day after Merkel hosted French President Nicholas Sarkozy for their first tete-a-tete of 2012, she will press on with an intensive three-day diplomatic push as the eurozone crisis shows no signs of abating.
