Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapatritis is set to undertake an official visit to Washington from February 25 to 27, 2026, as part of efforts to reinforce the bilateral relationship between Greece and the United States. During his stay, Gerapatritis will meet privately with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, where they are expected to discuss topics of mutual interest, including security in the Eastern Mediterranean, energy cooperation, and regional stability.

In addition to his meeting with Rubio, Gerapatritis will engage in discussions with high-ranking American officials and representatives from various institutions. He is also scheduled to address the Atlantic Council think tank, focusing on strengthening strategic cooperation and business innovation between the two nations. This visit is seen as a pivotal opportunity for both countries to enhance their collaborative efforts, particularly in the face of ongoing geopolitical challenges.

A significant highlight of the visit will be the signing ceremony of an agreement between ONEX Shipyards and Technologies and Hanwha Power Systems, which is anticipated to bolster the Greek shipbuilding industry, marking a vital step towards advancing Greece’s strategic defense capabilities and economic development in maritime sectors. This collaboration reflects Greece's commitment to fostering international partnerships and securing its position in regional defense dynamics.
