“Greece and Britain are united by traditional bonds of friendship, and the framework of our bilateral relations is extremely broad,” he added.
Mitsotakis continued by saying: “Anyone who believes in the correctness of their positions is not afraid of exchanging views.” “Greece’s positions on the issue of the Parthenon Marbles are known. I hoped to have the opportunity to discuss them with my British counterpart, along with the major challenges of international affairs: Gaza, Ukraine, the Climate crisis, migration.”
“Anyone who believes in the correctness and justice of their positions is never afraid of debate,” the Greek PM concluded in his statement.
