WASHINGTON - Secretary Lew spoke by telephone today with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on the evolving situation in Greece. He underscored that it is in
the best interests of Greece, Europe, and the global economy to find a sustainable solution that puts Greece on a path toward reform and recovery within the
Eurozone. He noted the importance of all parties continuing to work to reach a solution, including both a commitment to reforms and a discussion of potential debt
relief for Greece, in the run up to the July 5th referendum. Secretary Lew also stressed the need for Greece to take necessary steps to maintain financial stability in
the run up to the referendum, including by working closely with its international partners. He noted that the United States continues to monitor the situation closely
