I am confused why med is needed here. The translation does not say I am to meet with her. Is that suppose to be understood or implied?
The pattern of use with the passive "mødes" is either A: "Nogle mødes (med hinanden)" which means "Someone (more than one) meets up (with each other)." You can say that the two (or more) parties that meet up are covered by the plural "someone".
"Karen og jeg mødes på biblioteket." - Karen and I are meeting up at the library.
"Ministrene mødes to gange om måneden." - The ministers are meeting twice a month.
Or B: "Nogen mødes med nogen" - "Someone (singular) meets up with someone". Because of the singular someone you need to specify the other party/parties of the meet.
"Jeg mødes med Karen på biblioteket." - I am meeting up with Karen at the library.
"Ministeren mødes med de andre ministre to gange om måneden." - The minister are meeting the other ministers twice a month.
I don't know if the English versions need the "with" to indicate the same thing.
