Norwegian Ambassador Harriet E. Berg held a meeting with George Sp. Alexandratos, President of the Greek Nautical Chamber, and the Executive Committee to focus on strengthening collaboration between Greece and Norway in the maritime sector. Key topics of discussion included green transition initiatives, enhancing the competitiveness of the shipping industry, and developing international partnerships.
