Greece’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis had a phone conversation with the President of the United States, Joe Biden, on Sunday afternoon.

Biden congratulated Mitsotakis on his electoral victory and emphasised his anticipation for even closer cooperation with the new Greek government.

The two leaders reaffirmed the close bilateral ties between the two countries, as well as their commitment to strengthening and deepening the excellent Greek-American cooperation, particularly in the areas of defence and energy.

During the conversation, the importance of the strategic cooperation between Greece and the United States for stability and security in the broader Eastern Mediterranean region was highlighted.

Biden also expressed his gratitude for the support provided by Greece to Ukraine from the very beginning and for its role as a reliable partner and ally in the region.

In a post on Twitter, Mitsotakis expressed his satisfaction with the conversation and added: “Had the pleasure to speak with @POTUS today. We discussed Greece’s role as a pillar of stability and security in the region, our deepening economic ties and unwavering support for Ukraine. As I said in my address to the US Congress: our partnership is as long as it is enduring.”
