WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) released the following statement today after meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and other Greek government officials, including Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis, Deputy Foreign Minister Alexandra Papadopoulou, Ambassador to the United States Katerina Nassika, and Ambassador Anna Maria Boura, Director of the Prime Minister’s Diplomatic Office:
“As we celebrate 75 years of NATO, I was glad to meet with Prime Minister Mitsotakis and members of his government today to discuss our collective security interests, especially given current wars in Eastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean. The U.S.-Greek relationship is a robust alliance based on shared values and strengthened by the dynamic Greek diaspora across America, including in Delaware, where institutions like Wilmington’s Odyssey Charter School provide deep links between Greek-Americans and their homeland. I look forward to continuing to work with Prime Minister Mitsotakis and his government as we respond to pressing regional and global challenges.”
Senator Coons is Chair of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State and Foreign Operations (SFOPS) and a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
