The United States want to see economic growth and stability in Greece, the U.S. Ambassador to Greece, Geoffrey Pyatt, said on Monday at an American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce event for the New Year. 

Greece needs a sustainable debt relief and to implement structural reforms to return to growth, U.S. Ambassador to Greece, David Pearce, said in a statement published on the embassy’s website and posted on Twitter on Thursday.

U.S. Ambassador in Athens David Pearce on Monday said he was in favour of debt relief for Greece, while noting the country's importance as an energy hub, in order to reduce dependence on Russian natural gas, and as a transit centre for trade goods.
