Kyriakos Pierrakakis, Minister of National Economy and Finance and President of the Eurogroup, met today with India’s Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal.
The meeting focused on developments in global trade, EU-India trade relations, the deepening of economic ties between Greece and India, and the strategic potential for cooperation between the two countries. The restructuring of global trade makes it even more critical to create resilient supply chains, reliable trade routes, and stronger economic partnerships that promote stability and growth.
Particular emphasis was placed on prospects for cooperation in shipping, logistics, technology, digitalization, agri-food, energy, and tourism, as well as on the mobility of skilled workers.
At the same time, the new investment opportunities being created were highlighted, with Greece serving as a natural gateway for Indian businesses to the European market and India as one of the fastest-growing powers in the global economy.
A prominent place in the discussion was given to the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), an initiative with a strong geo-economic footprint that aims to redraw the trade maps between Asia and Europe. In this new connectivity architecture, Greece is emerging as a strategic hub, capitalizing on its geographic location, its ports, and its modern infrastructure.
