VIENNA (AFP) - Germany and the United States remain "great friends" despite a spying row, US Secretary of State said Sunday in a joint news conference with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Vienna.
"Let me emphasise the relationship between the United States and Germany is a strategic one, we have enormous political cooperation and we are great friends. And we will continue to work together with the guiding spirit that we exhibited today in a very thorough discussion," Kerry said.
