Greece Plans to Push for Promised Debt Relief in Talks

Greece planned to press its case for further debt relief in a meeting of senior euro-area finance officials today, pushing its creditors to make good on their promise to act after its debt mountain rose to a record, two European officials said before the gathering in Brussels.

The Eurogroup Working Group, which prepares meetings of euro-zone finance ministers, already approved an aid payment of 6.3 billion euros ($8.7 billion), one of the officials said during the talks, asking not to be named because the discussions are private.
