French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson agreed Sunday to work on "practical and operational measures" to resolve a simmering row over post-Brexit fishing rights, Macron's office said.
The two leaders met for about 25 minutes on the margins of a G20 summit in Rome, and agreed on the need for a "de-escalation" of the dispute with concrete action to come "as soon as possible", it said.
