BERLIN, June 25 (Xinhua) -- After Britain voted to leave the European Union (EU) in a historic referendum, foreign ministers from six founding countries of the EU met here on Saturday, pushing for a speedy exit procedure of Britain.

"This process should start as soon as possible," said German Foreign Minister Frank Walter Steinmeier after a meeting with his counterparts from France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg on Saturday in Berlin.

The aim must be "not to fall into a prolonged stalemate", he added.

"We'll start immediately," also said French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, adding that "we now expect that the process will be triggered under Article 50."
