France’s President Emmanuel Macron posted on Twitter, hailing the 55-year-old New Democracy party leader as a friend and partner of France.

“Let’s continue to work together for a stronger and more sovereign Europe,” Macron said.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also congratulated Mitsotakis on his re-election. Sunak said he looks forward to working closely with his Greek counterpart to strengthen the two countries’ long-standing relationship.
