Greek PM to visit India on Feb 21; focus on strategic ties
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will pay a two-day state visit to India from February 21 with an aim to further deepen strategic partnership between the two countries.
It would be the first visit by a head of state of Greece to India after a gap of 15 years.
India-Greece relations were elevated to “strategic partnership” during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Greece in August last year.
Mitsotakis will be the chief guest and keynote speaker at the Raisina Dialogue in the national capital, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Saturday.
The Greek PM will be accompanied by senior officials and a high-powered business delegation. He will also visit Mumbai before returning to Athens.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi and PM Mitsotakis will hold bilateral discussions and Prime Minister Modi will also host a lunch banquet in honour of the visiting dignitary,” the MEA said in a statement.
It said India-Greece relations are based on shared cultural values, commitment to foster economic growth, collaboration in the fields of security and defence, shipping, maritime and marked by convergence on regional and global issues.
