European Council: Congratulation letter by EC's President Tusk to Greek PM Tsipras


Default: Change to:


European Council President Tusk congratulated the newly re-elected Greek PM Alexis Tsipras after the 20th September election, and reminded him that his "dedication and leadership in implementing the economic adjustment programme is crucial in the recovery of the Greek economy."


Your Excellency,

On behalf of the European Council, I wish to congratulate you on winning the elections in Greece. I hope that the elections will now provide for the political stability necessary to face all the challenges at hand.

Many of the biggest challenges facing the European Union as a whole are the same as those facing Greece as a country, such as the refugee crisis and the creation of sustainable growth and jobs. I trust that Greece, with your new Government will contribute constructively in seeking solutions to all those challenges. Your dedication and leadership in implementing the economic adjustment programme is crucial in order to make a difference in the recovery of the Greek economy.

I look forward to once again working closely with you and welcoming you at the extraordinary informal meeting of EU Heads of State or Government this Wednesday.

Yours sincerely,
Donald Tusk
