French Finance Minister Michel Sapin

French Finance Minister Michel Sapin on Saturday said Greece's place was firmly inside the eurozone despite a decision by his eurozone counterparts to end the country's bailout programme on June 30, thrusting Athens towards a default.

"The destiny of Greece is to remain in the eurozone and no other country wants Greece to leave the eurozone," Sapin told reports at the end of a eurozone ministers' meeting to discuss Greece.
