- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Finance Minister Eukleides Tsakalotos will meet today with his Finnish counterpart, in order to promote Greek reforms ahead of the Eurogroup meeting scheduled to take place on Thursday.
“The faster that we can speak about the question of Greece’s debt the better it is for everyone, stated French Finance Minister Michelle Sapin during his meeting with mr. Tsakalotos yesterday.
French Finance Minister Michel Sapin said on Sunday he was convinced Greece would live up to its reform commitments and that it was in everyone’s interests to discuss how to ease the country’s debt burden.
Speaking at a joint news conference in Paris after meeting with Sapin, Greek Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos said he was “quite confident” that a first review of Athens’ reform efforts could be completed quickly, opening the way for discussions about Greece’s debt.
“I was convinced … that the Greek government is determined to respect its commitments,” Sapin told the news conference.
