Athens: Tsipras himself is not attending the meeting, according to Deutsche Welle. Sources close to the government in Greece said that the three politicians agreed to meet on the sidelines of an EU summit with Latin American and Caribbean countries on Wednesday. The call, which took place on the eve of the G7 summit, seemed to suggest that the Athens debt crisis could dominate the meeting of the seven nations. G7 countries had meanwhile made up their minds to display a united front when it came to Athens. EU Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker however showed his displeasure with Greek leaders' reluctance to implement reforms. Frustration with Athens Tsipras on Friday urged his creditors, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank, to withdraw "absurd" demands and unlock 7.2 billion euros worth of funds for his country.
