JOURNALIST: Mr. Minister, you’re going to be facing a number of challenges in the coming time.
FOREIGN MINISTER DIMAS: Without a doubt, because it is not just economic problems that this government is being called on to deal with, but also a number of other very important problems. More than anything else, however, if we are to be able to confront all of these problems, we need to regain the country’s international credibility; the country’s international standing. This is a goal that we are going to start working on here at the Foreign Ministry and with the collaboration and support of all Greeks here in Greece and abroad. The Greeks are a proud people and it is vital that we be able to hold our heads high and confront the problems that have been created.
