UAE president’s visit to Athens

 

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis met with the visiting president of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, in a further reflection of what Athens says is the mutual interest of both countries to deepen bilateral relations and their strategic character in all areas of common interest.

Mitsotakis referred to the “excellent bilateral relations” between the two countries.

“You know how much value we attach to the bilateral relations between our countries. We have already done a lot and we will do even more in terms of the level of our cooperation,” he said.

Mitsotakis stressed that the UAE is a stable strategic partner of Greece, with an important role in the Gulf region and internationally.

He also underlined the need to ensure stability and peace in the Eastern Mediterranean, as the last thing the region needs at this critical geopolitical juncture, when the consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine are testing the European and international security environment, is tension.
