N. KOTZIAS: Good evening to everyone. Mr. President, thank you for receiving me.
P. PAVLOPOULOS: I thank you very much for the briefing. You are heading the Foreign Ministry at anything but an ordinary time. Because, as your multifaceted initiatives show, the activity of the Foreign Ministry extends far beyond the limits of traditional diplomacy and the ongoing defence of our national issues and concerns aspects of these critical negotiations, which are being carried out to reach an agreement with our partners. I truly wish you strength.
N. KOTZIAS: Mr. President, thank you very much for receiving me. I thank you very much for the advice that you are always kind enough to give me and for your kind words. As we have journalists here, I have to say just one thing: I am fortunate as Foreign Minister to be carrying out my duties during your term as President of the Republic. You are a person with a good knowledge of international relations, who knows the legal system of the European Union and who is generous and helpful to the Ministers of this government. I thank you for everything, Mr. President.
P. PAVLOPOULOS: Thank you very much.
