Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis briefed the leaders of the political parties on Saturday on developments in foreign policy, focusing on the Greece–Cyprus electricity interconnector.
After briefing the political leaders, Mr Gerapetritis said:
Today I had the opportunity to brief the leaders of the parliamentary parties on developments concerning the Greece–Cyprus electricity interconnector.
I would particularly like to thank the political leaders who responded to the request for a briefing — a particularly responsible institutional stance.
This was the fourth time I had met with the political leaders to brief them on foreign policy issues, in addition to the regular meetings of the National Council for Foreign Policy and my attendance before the relevant parliamentary Committee on Defence and Foreign Affairs.
As regards the electricity interconnector, the French research vessel is in international waters and is continuing its survey work solely under Greek authorisation and the Greek NAVTEX.
The Greek state will continue, through an active foreign policy pursued with knowledge and responsibility, to strengthen the country’s international standing and instil authority and confidence in our homeland.
