BRUSSELS: French Finance Minister Michel Sapin said on Thursday that eurozone states would find a solution to the Greek debt crisis and that Greece should remain in the currency union.

Speaking to the finance committee of the European Parliament in Brussels, he said it was "legitimate" for the new Greek government to seek changes in line with the will of its voters but also that Greece "must respect its commitments" as a long-standing member of the European Union, eurozone and IMF.

He added: "We will find a solution because Greece belongs in the euro, belongs in Europe."
