ATHENS, April 7 (Xinhua) -- Britain and the European Union can reach an agreement on Brexit which will work for both sides, British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said during a two-day visit here which ended Friday.
The British official held talks with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Friday and Greek Foreign Minister Alexis Kotzias on Thursday.
According to the Greek premier's office, the dialogue focused on bilateral relations, Cyprus peace talks and the course of negotiations between Britain and EU on Brexit as well as developments in the region, in particular the Syrian crisis.
"We may be leaving the European Union but we are not leaving Europe. I believe we can get a deal that works for both sides," Johnson said during a joint press briefing with Kotzias on Thursday after their meeting.
"With goodwill and imagination it could be done as fast as in two years. We do not want to close doors," the British official stressed when asked about the timetable of Brexit.
Britain wants to control immigration flows, not close the door on talented people who are helping the British economy and will examine the conditions of free movement of EU citizens during Brexit's implementation, Johnson said.
"We respect the decision of the British people and we want to form the best possible deal between the EU and the UK which will serve both sides with friendship, not vindictiveness," Kotzias said on his part.
