French President Francois Hollande said today that Greece must keep its promises on debt repayments following the Greek anti-austerity Syriza party's stunning election win.
"Commitments have been made and they must be honoured," Hollande said at a press conference in Paris, a day after Syriza's win put the heavily indebted country on a collision course with its international creditors.
The French leader has invited newly elected Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to visit Paris as soon as possible, the president's office said earlier today.
