Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras spoke by phone on Monday with the first round winner of the French presidential election on Sunday, centrist Emmanuel Macron.
According to the Greek premier's office, he congratulated Macron over his first-place finish and conveyed his best wishes for the second round in the early May.
Tsipras also apparently looked to the future in relations with the Euro zone's second biggest economy, expressing a view that with a Macron victory close Greek-French ties will continue.
