last year.
Alexis Tsipras, the leftist Greek prime minister, made a surprise appearance at the
forum’s main event, emerging from the audience in the packed convention center to
deliver a speech immediately after Mr. Putin.

in crucial debt talks next week. Yet he received no Russian money and limited
investment pledges.(25 分)
