German
Chancellor Angela Merkel has warned that time is running out for a deal to keep
Greece in the eurozone.
Earlier,
Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said it was time to stop
finger-pointing and find an agreement.
Other
topics on the agenda at the G7 summit were climate change, countering extremism
and the war in Ukraine.
It was held
at the picturesque Schloss Elmau hotel in the Bavarian Alps and was attended by
the leaders of the US, UK, Japan, France, Canada and Italy.
Ms Merkel,
who hosted the event, said the Greek crisis had been a central part of
discussions.
She
reiterated her desire for Greece to remain part of the eurozone, but said:
"There isn't much time left. Everyone is working intensively. Every day
counts now."
The
European Commission is asking for further reforms to Greece's economy,
including tax increases and cuts in civil servants' salaries and pensions,
before the next €7.2bn (£5.2bn) tranche of bailout money can be released.
