[01] Netanyahu: Visit to Greece of 'historic importance'
(ÁÍÁ-ÌPA) -- Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou and his visiting
Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday announced the creation
of a joint committee to deal with all possible issues of bilateral
cooperation, including security, tourism, investments, energy and
innovation.
The announcement during a joint press conference follows a meeting at
the Maximos Mansion in Athens, where Netanyahu termed his visit to
Greece as being of historic importance.
Mutual visits by the Greek and Israeli prime ministers to Israel and
Greece, respectively, have taken place over the recent period for the
first time since the establishment of the state of Israel.
It was also stressed during the joint press conference that the
strengthening of relations between Greece and Israel constitutes a
strategic option of the two countries and should not be considered as
being in conflict of the two countries' bilateral or multilateral
relations with other countries.
