Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Evangelos Venizelos was the keynote speaker at the "Diligently, Making Business 2014" Conference held at the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) on April 9.

In his address, Venizelos said that Greece has achieved “the best possible restructuring and recapitalization of the banking system, the country's debt sustainability has been certified and banks should turn with honesty and respect to the real economy and entrepreneurship, and despite the 'barbaric' unemployment we have tools like the National Strategic Reference Framework and the commencement of major projects such as motorways.”
