Sources in Athens referred to a very cordial discussion.
Earlier, the US president had referred to common values and long-standing friendship between the Greek and US people, in his message at an event of the Archdiocese of America in New York - also coming in commemoration for the March 25 Greek Independence Day. Moreover, the US president said Greece-US ties are now the closest that they've ever been.
