PARIS (Sputnik) – On Thursday, UK citizens voted on their country's fate in the European Union. On Friday, voting data indicated that Britain voted to leave the bloc.
"The president said that all the procedures required to exit [the UK from the EU] should be made as soon as possible," Stephane Le Foll said following an emergency French Cabinet meeting addressing Thursday's referendum that saw 51.9 percent of Britons vote in favor of the so-called Brexit.
Earlier in the day, Hollande said that France regretted the UK's decision to leave the EU.
Hollande added Friday he will travel to Berlin on Monday to meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi following the British vote to exit the European Union.
