Prime Minister Mitsotakis visits Libya to reset relations

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis travelled to Libya on Tuesday aiming to restart relations with the war-torn country. During his visit, he announced the reopening of the Greek Embassy in Tripoli, and called on the interim government to scrap an agreement on maritime boundaries signed with Turkey in 2019, which Athens says violates international law. His visit came as other EU leaders also visited the country, and called for the departure of foreign forces and mercenaries ahead of elections scheduled for later this year.

Tom Ellis, the editor-in-chief of Kathimerini English edition, joins us to share his take on the current situation in Libya, Greek-Libyan relations and Prime Minister Mitsotakis’ visit, and what lies ahead.
