Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Evangelos Venizelos met today, Monday, 22 September, with the Foreign Minister of the Palestinian Authority, Dr. Riyad Al-Maliki, within the framework of the Ministerial Week of the 69th UN General Assembly.
During the meeting, Messrs. Venizelos and Al-Maliki looked at the situation that has taken shape in the wider region following the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, as well as at the excellent course of bilateral relations.
Mr. Venizelos underscored to Dr. Al-Maliki the importance Greece attaches to the promotion of the peace process, assuring him that Greece, as a member state of the European Union, and as a country that maintains traditionally close relations with the Palestinian people, is always ready to contribute to the efforts to overcome the crisis in the direction of security and regional stability.
