ATHENS, Greece (AP) — An official says the leaders of Brazil and Greece have discussed possible investments in the energy and tourism sectors.
Prime Minister George Papandreou held talks with Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, who is on a one-day visit to Greece on her way to China.
An aide to Papandreou, who spoke to The Associated Press on customary condition of anonymity, says the agenda of the talks included the state of Greece’s economy, renewable energy sources, tourism and the 2016 Summer Olympics, which Rio de Janeiro will host 12 years after Athens.
The aide says Rousseff also thanked Papandreou for Greece’s evacuation of 150 Brazilian nationals from Libya last month.
