[01] ND on Prime Minister's contacts abroad
ANA-MPA/Main opposition New Democracy (ND) press spokesman Panos
Panagiotopoulos said on Monday that his party will take a position on
prime minister George Papandreou's string of contacts abroad after the
premier's meeting in Washington with US President Barack Obama, which
is slated for Tuesday.
Panagiotopoulos said that, following Papandreou's meetings with German
Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin on Friday and French President
Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris on Sunday, it has become clear that the
prospect of Greece taking recourse in the International Monetary Fund
(IMF) has become distant.
"We particularly welcome the statements by French President Sarkozy.
They are statements that reinforce the bonds of political cohesion
among the eurozone member countries and give the required picture of
solidarity that is needed not only by Greece, but by everyone,"
Panagiotopoulos added.
