ATHENS - Conservative politician Kyriakos Mitsotakis took office as Greece’s new prime minister and named his cabinet on Monday, after storming to victory on a pledge to create jobs and lure investment to the economically stricken nation.

He was later welcomed by outgoing premier Alexis Tsipras, a leftist who steered Greece out of bailouts, but was blamed for botching negotiations with international lenders and saddling the nation with more debt after he took over in 2015. Greeks hope the new government can make the economy work better after the country emerged from the close surveillance of its international lenders last year. The economy is now growing at a moderate clip, expanding by 1.3% on an annual basis in the first quarter.

Leader of New Democracy conservative party and winner of Greek general election Kyriakos Mitsotakis, along with his wife Mareva Grabowski-Mitsotakis, arrives for a swearing-in ceremony as prime minister near the Presidential Palace in Athens, Greece July 8, 2019.
