The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says it is “ready to assist Greece if requested to do so.”

IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said the institution has “taken note” of the results of Sunday’s referendum and is monitoring the situation.

Meanwhile, Greece’s stance in its upcoming round of negotiations with fellow eurozone members is supported by all Greek political parties save the Communist Party, says Defence Minister, Panos Kammenos.

“The Prime Minister will go to Brussels to negotiate on behalf of all the Greek people,” said Kammenos in televised comments.

His comments came after a meeting between the opposition leaders, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and President Prokopis Pavlopoulos.

Asked about the prospect for an agreement between Greece and its creditors, Kammenos , the leader of Independent Greeks (ANEL) party, the junior partner of the coalition government – said “agreement is the only way.”
