Relations between the two countries have deep historical roots. Today, Greece and France cooperate closely within the framework of the EU and all international organisations.
Bilateral relations with France have been brought to the highest level, following the signing of the Strategic Relationship Agreement in September 2021 (28.9.2021), in Paris, during the Prime Minister's visit. It should also be noted that there has been a significant increase in the number of visits between the two sides at the highest, ministerial, parliamentary and official levels.
