In his weekly report on government activities, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis emphasized the significance of a cooperative and functional relationship with Turkey after his visit to Ankara. He stated that he had a candid and constructive discussion with President Erdogan about the issues that bring the two countries closer together as well as the notable disagreements that still exist. Mitsotakis pointed out that these disagreements are real and significant, but they can be addressed without tension and through open channels of communication, maintaining self-confidence and a steady reference to international law.

Mitsotakis reiterated that Greece does not seek either conflict or stagnation, highlighting the desire for a normal, functional relationship with Turkey, grounded in national interests. He acknowledged the geographic reality that necessitates neighboring countries and expressed a preference for stability in a volatile international environment. Continuing the structured dialogue initiated over the past two and a half years, he mentioned that it has yielded tangible results and expanded areas of cooperation, reflecting a commitment to responsible governance.

The Prime Minister also underscored that this approach aligns with what the majority of citizens desire: a diplomatic pathway forward that balances mutual respect and national interests. With an eye on ongoing projects and collective contracts, Mitsotakis is positioning Greece as a responsible player in the region, striving for sustainable diplomatic relations while navigating complex geopolitical dynamics.
