US Treasury chief to talk reform in Greece

WASHINGTON, D.C.: US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew will press Greece’s government to move ahead on economic reforms in a visit to Athens this week, the Treasury Department said Monday.

In a stopover on his way to the Group of 20 finance chiefs meeting in Chengdu, China, Lew will meet Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos over July 20 to 21 as Greece’s economy remains mired in a long recession.
