Greek FM: The goal of electing Greece as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council is achievable

Greece, taking advantage of its multi-level approach to foreign policy, has already secured the written commitment of 113 states to vote for its candidacy for election as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, in the two years 2025-26,” says Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias in his statement on Greece’s candidacy to the United Nations Security Council in the newspaper “Apogeumatini”.

“Given that the permanent members of the Security Council, by tradition, do not articulate their commitment to support nominations, we believe that the goal of our election is entirely achievable,” he says.

“The successful outcome of this particular candidacy gives us the right to be optimistic about Greece’s nominations to the other two main organs of the United Nations, the Human Rights Council (2028-30) and the presidency of the General Assembly (2035-36), both for the first time in its history”, he concludes.
