Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said he aims to give the Greece-India strategic partnership a “significant boost” during an official visit to India.
In an interview with Times Now, Mitsotakis said bilateral ties are “definitely moving in the right direction,” citing “obvious and significant synergies” beyond longstanding cultural links.
He is attending the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi and is due to meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Mitsotakis highlighted Greece’s position as the closest country in continental Europe to India and stressed connectivity initiatives such as the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC).
He pointed to cooperation in shipping and investment, noting that India’s GMR group is building Greece’s second-largest airport.
He also said Greece wants to become “the destination preferred by Indian tourists in Europe,” with direct flights expected to increase.
On artificial intelligence, Mitsotakis said Greece has an ambitious national strategy but warned of risks including mental health effects on young people and misinformation.
He cautioned against excessive concentration of power among a few global tech firms and called for “an honest discussion” to ensure AI benefits all.
