Below is Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias’ statement to Alpha TV journalist Sofia Papaioannou following his meeting, a short while ago, with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius:
“I had a very, very interesting discussion with my colleague Mr. Fabius, the Foreign Minister of France. We agreed on the further development of our bilateral activities in the economic sector and in the sector of culture, which is, as you know, a very important element linking the two peoples, the French and Greek peoples.
I also briefed him on my visit to Kiev and the assistance we have agreed to give to the sorely tried Ukrainian people – from grants for students to treatment for the wounded from the war in eastern Ukraine. And we also talked about the Euro Med group, whose meeting is starting now.”
