Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras urged an acceleration of talks with the country’s creditors to strike a deal by the end of this month, saying that “a big part of the distance has been covered.”
Tsipras met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker on the sidelines of a summit in Brussels. “I’m very optimistic we are closer than before” to an agreement, Tsipras told reporters late Thursday. Merkel, Hollande and Juncker didn’t give details on the meetings.
