Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras had a meeting with Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff and Ecuador's President Rafael Correa on the sidelines of the UN’s general assembly in New York on Monday.
In his talks with Rousseff, Tsipras discussed strengthening the economic cooperation between the two countries, specifically in the agricultural sector, the aerospace industry and energy. They also decided to establish a Committee of experts to promote talks on these issues, while Tsipras invited Rousseff in Athens in February during the handing over ceremony of the Olympic flame.
