Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, commenced an official visit to Greece, signaling a strengthening of the bilateral relationship between the two nations. Upon his arrival at Athens International Airport, he was warmly welcomed by George Gerapetritis, the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs, as reported by the state news agency Wam on Thursday.
The visit is a result of an invitation extended by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. During his stay, Sheikh Khaled is set to engage in crucial discussions with Mitsotakis, highlighting the importance of this diplomatic mission. This visit holds special significance as it coincides with the 50th anniversary of the formal establishment of diplomatic ties between the UAE and Greece.
The relationship between the UAE and Greece has witnessed significant growth over the years. The two countries have forged a comprehensive strategic partnership, covering key areas such as the economy, investment, energy, and technology. This partnership has been instrumental in fostering mutual growth and development.
The friendship between the UAE and Greece has been buoyed by regular communication between their leaders. President Sheikh Mohamed has been in frequent contact with Prime Minister Mitsotakis this year, further solidifying the strong bond between the two nations. In May, Sheikh Mohamed hosted a high-level meeting with Mitsotakis in Abu Dhabi, focusing on collaboration across various sectors including economic, investment, technology, artificial intelligence, renewable energy, sustainability, infrastructure, and cultural cooperation.
Accompanying Sheikh Khaled on this official visit is a distinguished delegation. This group includes Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Adnoc; Reem Al Hashimy, Minister of State for International Cooperation; Dr Thani Al Zeyoudi, Minister of Foreign Trade; and Mohamed Alsuwaidi, Minister of Investment.
