The Council of International Relations, the Delphi Economic Forum, and TO VIMA newspaper, with great pleasure announce the two-day Conference, entitled “Greece 1974-2024: 50 Years of Greek Foreign Policy”, which will take place at the King George Hotel, Syntagma Square, Athens, on Thursday-Friday, 12 & 13 December, 2024.
A constructive reflection on the first 50 years of the Third Hellenic Republic from the perspective of diplomacy and international relations. What degree of continuity and consistency characterizes the country’s foreign policy, as it has been implemented by successive administrations, on crucial matters such as the Cyprus issue, Greece-Turkey and other bilateral relations, participation in the European Union, our position in the Balkans, Europe, the Eastern Mediterranean and the world?
What role has Greece played, and what role does it seek to play, in the fields of energy, economy, security, at the national, regional and international level? How does the large Greek diaspora affect Greek foreign policy, and how is it affected by it?
Leading figures from the fields of politics, security, science and civil society are invited to answer these and other key questions. The conference will climax and culminate with the formulation of a vision for the next 50 years of the current Hellenic Republic.
