US secretary of state talks with Greek counterpart on economy, energy
US Secretary of State John Kerry spoke by phone with Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias on several issues, including the economic situation, Greece's energy policy and the continuing violence in Ukraine, according to a State Department press release.
Another statement, released by the Greek foreign ministry, said the two men discussed relations with Russia, following Kotzias’ recent visit to Moscow. The foreign minister also briefed his US counterpart on a recent initiative to protect Christian populations in the Middle East, which was discussed at the February 9 meeting of the EU Council of Foreign Ministers in Brussels.
Kerry reiterated the support of the US for the success of the efforts of Greece, with its European partners, to find a mutually acceptable programme for exiting the crisis.
