US-Greece relations and the strategic dialogue: A conversation with Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt

“Relations between Greece and the United States are at a peak, but they are not at the summit.” That was the message US Ambassador to Greece Geoffrey Pyatt conveyed to journalists after Greece and the US signed an updated MDCA last week and held their third Strategic Dialogue.
