This telephone interview took place on the eve of the G7 meeting this Sunday and Monday, said AFP.

“They talked to analyze the situation and to advance the negotiations between Greece and the three institutions’ creditors-the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Commission (EC) – , said the gala source.
