French President Emmanuel Macron addressed the German parliament on Sunday and will then meet with Chancellor Angela Merkel, as the two present a united front in countering global turmoil stoked by US President Donald Trump.

During the speech, Macron urged a European revival to prevent global 'chaos'.

The French president said Sunday that Europe must grow stronger and more sovereign in order to fulfil its duty of bringing stability to global affairs.

"Europe, and within it the Franco-German couple, have the obligation not to let the world slip into chaos and to guide it on the road to peace," Macron told the German parliament, adding: "That's why Europe must be stronger".

As the centenary of World War I is remembered, Macron has repeatedly invoked its horrors to drive home his message that rising nationalism is again destabilising the world.

He has also suggested building a future European army as a symbol of a united continent.
