Greece ‘grows taller’ on world stage, says Foreign Minister Gerapetritis 

·

Greece is stepping up its diplomatic footprint and solidifying its role as a regional stabiliser, according to Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis, who addressed the country’s growing influence in international affairs during a recent foreign policy briefing. 
 
Speaking on Greece’s evolving strategic presence, Gerapetritis said the nation is “growing taller” diplomatically, pointing to enhanced participation in multilateral organisations and a focus on peaceful cooperation in the wider Eastern Mediterranean region. 
 
“Our role is to be present and active in all international forums and initiatives that promote peace, international law, and stability,” he noted, citing Greece’s engagements through the United Nations, the EU, and trilateral partnerships with regional neighbours. 

Gerapetritis emphasised that Greece is not seeking to provoke or escalate tensions but is committed to defending its sovereignty and international rights through dialogue and diplomacy. 
 
The Minister also made reference to Greece’s consistent position on respecting territorial integrity and the rule of law—principles he said are especially vital amid ongoing geopolitical shifts and conflicts. 
 
While not directly naming Turkey, Gerapetritis’ remarks come at a time of cautious optimism in Greek-Turkish relations following months of diplomatic thawing. 
 
As Greece aims to further its influence across key international platforms, Gerapetritis said the country’s vision is clear: to be a constructive and reliable partner in the global community.
