Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was meeting Thursday with finance ministry officials a day after the government requested a new three-year aid program from Europe`s bailout funds and promised to immediately enact reforms, including to taxes and pensions, in return.

The last-minute negotiations come amid bank closures in Greece, where capital controls have been imposed.
