The leaders agreed to continue
working closely on European migration challenges as Greece begins today
to implement the EU-Turkey agreement. The Vice President and Prime
Minister Tsipras agreed on the need for continued swift progress on
Greece's economic reforms and on the importance of
Greece, the IMF, and European institutions working constructively to
conclude the first review of Greece's economic reform program in a
timely manner.
The Vice President also underscored the need for Europe
to follow through on its commitment to put Greece's
debt on a sustainable path through debt relief.
The Vice President
congratulated Prime Minister Tsipras on the progress Greece has made on
the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline, and on energy cooperation with Bulgaria,
important steps in strengthening the Greek economy
and advancing European energy security and independence.
