The new US Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, arrived in Athens on Monday, November 3, aboard a private flight, in line with diplomatic protocol.

Her first official engagement will take place on Tuesday, November 4, when she presents her credentials to President Constantine Tasoulas during a ceremony at the Presidential Palace.

Later in the week, Guilfoyle is expected to make her first major appearance at the 6th Partnership for Transatlantic Energy Cooperation (P-TEC) Conference, held on November 6-7 at the Zappeion Hall.

The event, co-organised by the Greek Ministry of Environment and Energy, the US Department of Energy, and the Atlantic Council Global Energy Centre, aims to strengthen Europe–US cooperation on secure and sustainable energy transition.

The conference will be attended by US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, US Interior Secretary Dug Bergham, and 24 European energy ministers.

Over the weekend, Defence Minister Nikos Dendias met Guilfoyle during a US Embassy event marking the 250th anniversary of the US Marine Corps.

In a post on X, Dendias said he spoke “with Ms Kimberly Guilfoyle, who will officially assume her duties as US Ambassador to Greece in the coming days,” sharing a photo of their meeting.
