On Wednesday, October 18, Foreign Policy at Brookings and Brookings’s Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy will host Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras of Greece for an Alan and Jane Batkin International Leaders Forum. Since becoming prime minister in January 2015, Prime Minister Tsipras has overseen Greece’s efforts toward economic recovery, relations within the European Union, and security policy in a turbulent region.

Questions from the audience will follow the discussion.
