The Greek debt crisis issue was conspicuously absent from the agenda of talks at the ‘informal summit meeting’ under way in Hannover, Germany. The five nations of USA, France, Germany, Italy and the UK are talking about the current matters of globe importance in an informal setting, and the hopes of the Greek government that its issue would be included in the agenda of talks were swiftly dispelled after the five released the matters to be covered during the meeting. German Chancellor Angela Merkel had already made it clear in previous statements that the Greek matter would not be discussed at the gathering. The agenda included the Syrian crisis, the Libyan matter, terrorism, ISIS and the EU-US transatlantic TTIP agreement. They five issued a joint statement stressing that dealing with the refugee crisis needed an integrated and viable solution, while sources say that a closer collaboration wit Turkey in the matter is necessary. US President Barack Obama congratulated German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the German people on welcoming large numbers of refugees.
