The India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC) will be the key focus of a meeting between External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Greece’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, George Gerapetritis, on Thursday. Gerapetritis arrived here on Wednesday.

Greece holds strategic importance for India within the IMEEC, as its location in Europe makes it a crucial gateway to the European market. Additionally, the country’s seaports, particularly Piraeus, can serve as major entry points for Indian goods heading to Europe.

This geographic advantage allows for faster and more efficient movement of goods compared to traditional sea routes, potentially reducing transportation costs and transit times. Sources said Greece could also play a key role in facilitating trade negotiations and agreements between India and the EU.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
