“Greece-Latin America and Caribbean relations” have strong roots in the past, are already flourishing in the present and will become more and more fruitful moving into the future”, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in a video message he sent to the event themed “Latin America Day and Caribbean” organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Their core, as he pointed out, is “the prosperous Greek communities that are scattered throughout the continent, but also our common adherence to the same values: Democracy, national independence, inviolability of borders”.
The event, as he pointed out, “strengthens the ties that accompany our national existence itself, as the Greek revolution coincided with the wave of emancipation of your own countries as well.”
Cooperation with countries in the region
The Prime Minister noted that Greece already cooperates with the countries of the region in international bodies, from the United Nations to the Forum of Ancient Civilizations, while contacts are intensifying on a bilateral level as well.
As he recalled, relatively recently the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Andreas Katsaniotis was in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Mexico, in the first meeting after 25 years of Greek communities in South America. He was accompanied by an echelon of the Greek Parliament. He also expressed his own desire to visit the area.
