The Alternate Foreign Minister for European Affairs, Nikos Xydakis, hosted today, Friday 2 September, a farewell luncheon, in honor of U.S. Ambassador David Pearce, who is about to retire and thus is bound to leave within the first half of the month of September.
During the meeting that preceded the luncheon, Mr. David Pearce praised the efforts of Greece to exit the economic crisis and become a pillar of stability and security for the entire region. And that, despite having received huge flows of refugees over the past year.
Mr. Pearce, moreover, expressed his certainty that Greek-American relations are entering a new highly productive era, as Greece is to the U.S.A. an exceptionally important partner, given, among others, its geostrategic location.
