Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou told The Associated Press on Monday that he was also seeking advice from the International Monetary Fund during a trip to Washington.
He's accompanying Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou.
Papaconstantinou said meetings with the IMF on Monday did not touch on financial aid but were on advice about tax and budget reform.
He said Greece was briefing the Obama administration on those reforms and discussing global financial regulation. Papandreou is set to meet President Barack Obama on Tuesday.
