The Foreign Ministry’s Secretary General for International Economic Relations, Giorgos Tsipras, met in Moscow today with the Russian Deputy Minister for Economic Development and Interregional Cooperation, Alexander Tsybulskiy.
The talks focused on the strengthening of Greek-Russian interregional cooperation, a matter lent significant impetus by the 9th Meeting of the Greek-Russian Joint Interministerial Committee on Economic, Industrial, Scientific and Technological cooperation, which took place in Sochi, Russia, this past November, and within the framework of which it was decided to set up a relevant working group.
During yesterday’s meeting it was decided that the two sides will proceed directly to appointing the members of the working group, so that the first meeting can take place within the next two months. At the same time, there was reaffirmation of the great importance the two countries attach to the development of interregional cooperation, by the Russian proposal for upgrading of the level of the head of the working group to the level of Deputy Minister/Secretary General. The Greek side accepted this proposal.
