[01] PASOK leader meets WB Vice-President
Main opposition Panhellenic Socialist Movement PASOK leader and
Socialist International (SI) President George Papandreou on Monday met
with the Vice-President of the World Bank for East Europe and Central
Asia, Shigeo Katsu.
According to a PASOK press release, discussion centred on "economic
developments and growth prospects for the countries of the broader
region."
Papandreou referred to "the importance which the speeding of the
accession course of these countries to the world economic system has,"
and stressed "the importance which Socialist International attributes
to the economic adjustments giving opportunities to all and coinciding
with the support of social cohesion and the reduction of inequalities."
They also discussed issues of transparency and the combatting of
corruption, to which the World Bank gives all the more emphasis to.
