The U.S. Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, described Alexandroupoli as a region of vital importance to the United States.
The U.S. Ambassador arrived in the capital of Evros shortly before 12:00 p.m., and following her visit to the 12th Mechanized Infantry Division, she commented on Alexandroupoli and her visit:
“This has always been a vital and strategic area for the U.S. I was looking forward to this trip with great anticipation, not only because it is of critical importance to U.S.-Greece relations, but also for our NATO allies, in the areas of logistics, military, and energy cooperation,” she noted.
“We look forward to expanding this effort. We had an excellent discussion on these issues here, and I just wanted to come and express my respect, interest, and appreciation for all that Greece has done for the United States, as well as to reaffirm that the U.S. will always be a steadfast ally of the Hellenic Republic,” he added.
