PM Tsipras inaugurates Ionian highway

The Ionian highway is a stategic project for all Greece and Epirus and upgrades Greece's role in the wider region, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Tuesday during the inauguration.

It upgrades trade, tourism and transport, he added.

The benefits from the Ionian Highway will be maximized if it is included in a wider plan, which includes the construction of a new port in Igoumenitsa, a connection of the Ionian Highway with Preveza and Agrinio and extending this to Kakavia on the Greek-Albanian border, Tsipras stated.

The Prime Minister underlined that with the Ionian Highway, the airport of Ioannina is being upgraded into a hub airport for tourists.

"The country is well on its way out of the economic crisis," he stressed, adding that the country is turning a page.

Our vision is a new era of fair growth that contributes to all society and especially the weakest, the prime minister said.
