The East Med, energy, and bilateral relations with Israel and Russia the focus of busy diplomatic week for PM Mitsotakis
It’s been a busy week in Greek diplomacy. It kicked off with Prime Minister Mitsotakis first speaking to Secretary of State Antony Blinken about the US-Greece partnership and developments in the broader region, setting the tone for the Prime Minister’s week. A day after this call, on Tuesday, Mitsotakis traveled to Jerusalem where he attended the latest trilateral summit with the leaders of Cyprus and Israel, where energy cooperation was at the forefront of discussions. Finally, Mitsotakis visited Sochi on Wednesday to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a meeting that took place against the backdrop of tensions between the West and Russia over the Ukrainian issue. Vassilis Nedos, Kathimerini’s diplomatic and defense editor, joins The Greek Current with the latest analysis on these developments.
