  • [01] Valynakis on Med Union

    A meeting chaired by Deputy Foreign Minister Yiannis Valinakis was held at the foreign ministry on Monday focusing on a proposal by the French government concerning the creation of a "Mediterranean Union".

    "Our interest in every form of substantive cooperation being developed in our neighbourhood is a foregone conclusion and with this positive spirit we approach the Union for the Mediterranean that the French government is proposing," Valynakis said during the meeting with the participation of secretary generals from ministries and representatives of Organisations.

    He added that "it is important that our traditionally good political relations that we have with the countries of the Mediterranean be translated into similar economic cooperation with evident benefits in the day-to-day lives of citizens. Greece must be present with specific, well-prepared proposals in sectors of interest to us and in which there can be business interest such as transport, shipping, tourism, energy, immigration, culture, etc."

    The deputy minister further said that "we firmly believe that Greek entrepreneurship has considerable ground for development in the wider Mediterranean region and every opportunity that is presented must be evaluated responsibly and produce the greatest development result possible. Opportunities exist and we must take advantage of them with suitable strategic planning to the greatest degree possible."

    The meeting will be followed soon by a conferenceorganised by the foreign ministry, to which representatives of institutional agencies from both the private and public sectors, the business world and non-governmental organisations that are active in the region of the Mediterranean will be invited for a briefing and an exchange of views.
