Israel expresses support for Greece’s sovereign rights and territorial integrity

·

Greece’s Foreign Minister, Nikos Dendias, met on Tuesday with Israel’s Foreign Minister, Eli Cohen, who clearly expressed his support of Greece’s sovereign rights and territorial integrity, noting that differences should be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy, Ekathimerini reports.

Mr Cohen stated that Dendias is the first foreign minister from the European Union to visit the ministry since the new Israeli government was formed – something that, according to him, reflects the strategic relations between Israel and Greece.

According to amna.gr, this was also the first time an Israeli foreign minister made an explicit statement in support of the sovereignty and sovereign rights of Greece in the context of joint statements.

During the meeting, Greece’s crucial role for stability and security in the Eastern Mediterranean was also underlined, as well as the close alliance between Greece and Israel.

Discussions were held on bilateral relations and regional cooperation in the sectors of energy, security, innovation and start-ups.

Dendias and Cohen also discussed international developments and the new opportunities emerging after the Abraham Accords.
