FILE - In this Jan. 15, 2014 file photo German Minister of Defence Ursula von der Leyen, left, and German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier talk at the beginning of a cabinet meeting at the Federal Chancellery in Berlin, Germany. After years in the diplomatic shadows, Germany looks keen to shed its image as a foreign-policy lightweight and assume a more vigorous role in shaping European policies in global hotspots from central Africa to Syria. New Foreign Minister Steinmeier has declared that Europe "cannot leave France alone" in Africa. He and von der Leyen are preparing to reinforce Germany's military role in Mali and help France at least logistically in Central African Republic. (AP Photo/dpa, Kay Nietfeld, File)
