New Delhi, February 17
The Prime Minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, will pay a State visit to India on February 21 and 22 during which he will be the chief guest and keynote speaker at the Ministry of External Affairs’ (MEA) flagship event, the Raisina Dialogue.
His visit comes at a time when the Greek port of Piraeus is being considered as a hub for the distribution of goods in Europe from the India-Middle East corridor. This will be the first Head of State/Government level visit from Greece to India after 15 years.
The Greek PM will be accompanied by senior officials and a high-powered business delegation, said the MEA. He will also visit Mumbai before returning to Athens.
After a ceremonial welcome, he will hold talks with PM Narendra Modi. India-Greece relations were elevated to ‘Strategic Partnership’ during PM Modi’s visit to Greece in August 2023. Some focus areas are security and defence, shipping and maritime. “PM Mitsotakis’s visit is expected to further strengthen and deepen the strategic partnership between India and Greece,” said the MEA.
