Greece's newly appointed Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos is heading to Luxembourg Sunday to attend talks on a second economic bailout package for his country.
He joins other European Union finance ministers in Luxembourg for a two-day meeting on Europe's economic outlook, CNN reports.
The Ministers will discuss recent economic and financial developments in Greece on the basis of the fourth review of the economic adjustment programme of Greece.
