New Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said Sunday that Greece did not want an extension of its bailout but a "bridge programme" which would buy the country time to negotiate a new deal.

"Greece wants to service its debt. If our peers want so too, they are invited to come to the table of dialogue so we can discuss how to make it viable," he said in a key policy speech to parliament.

He also stressed "the government's unshakeable decision to honour all our pre-elect promises."
