DHAKA: Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have agreed that Athens will present a fresh Greek proposal for an aid deal with creditors at an emergency eurozone summit in Brussels on Tuesday.

Greek government sources said, reports Al Jazeera.

A Greek official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, revealed the agreement to the media, but gave no further details of Monday’s telephone conversation between the two leaders, which comes a day after Greeks voted overwhelmingly to reject the terms of an international bailout deal.

Another source, speaking to the media, also said the proposal would be presented on Tuesday.

‘They agreed that the prime minister (Tsipras) will present the proposals of the Greek government at the summit (on Tuesday),’ the source said.

Voters, who had been asked whether to accept or reject the austerity measures demanded by lenders in return for rescue loans, delivered a resounding 61-percent strong ‘No’ vote on Sunday.
