Prime Minister Tsipras: The south must not be relegated to Europe’s margins




The peoples of southern Europe must not be relegated to the margins of the European Union but must play a leading role and they will do so, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Thursday in a joint press conference with his Italian counterpart Paolo Gentiloni, held within the framework of the 1st Intergovernmental Conference between Greece and Italy on Corfu.

Italy is Greece’s foremost strategic trade partner and we hope that this cooperation will be strengthened further in the sector of investments, Italian Prime Minister said.

The Italian premier said that this day brings very good news, with the signing of an agreement between Greece’s rail operator TRAINOSE and Italy’s Ferrovie Dello Stato Italiane and other investments.

Gentiloni noted that “the economic climate is changing for better and we must seize the opportunity,” adding there cannot be a two-speed Europe, separated between north and south.
