Athens: The Greek government on Thursday expressed confidence that the country could reach an agreement with its creditors, even without convening Sunday's summit, as Greece's junior coalition partner said final touches on the proposed reforms' list were being made that Athens will table to lenders.

"We believe that we will have positive signs at the Eurogroup and that we proceed to an agreement," Greek government spokesman Gabriel Sakellaridis told private broadcaster ANT1 TV, according to the Greek Reporter, adding that if all goes well, the European Union summit on Sunday may not be necessary, Efe news agency reported on Thursday.
