Newly sworn-in Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras pledged on Monday to do everything in his power to help Greece exit the economic crisis and restore it as an equal partner in the EU, during a meeting with Vassiliki Thanou, who served as caretaker premier in the pre-election period. 

SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras is expected to visit President Prokopis Pavlopoulos on Monday, at 20:00, to receive the mandate to form a government.

"We will continue fighting with the same vigor so as not to allow the old regime to return," SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras said at the closing of the two-day proceedings of the party's panhellenic meeting on Sunday.
