Minister of Foreign Affairs George Gerapetritis’ statement after briefing political parties’ leaders (14.11.2026)

Today I had the opportunity to brief the leaders of the parliamentary parties on the developments concerning the Greece–Cyprus Electricity Interconnection. I would particularly like to thank the political leaders who responded to the request for information, demonstrating a particularly responsible institutional stance.

It was the fourth time that I met with the political leaders to brief them on foreign policy issues, in parallel with the regular meetings of the National Council for Foreign Policy, and with my appearances before the competent parliamentary Committee on Defense and Foreign Affairs.

As regards the Electricity Interconnection, the French research vessel is in international waters, and is continuing its survey operations on the basis of the Greek authorisation and the Greek NAVTEX, and solely on that basis.

The Greek State will continue, through an active foreign policy, conducted with knowledge and responsibility, to strengthen the country's international footprint, enhance its standing and reinforce its self-confidence.
