FM Dendias continues contacts to promote Greek positions

Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias will continue the diplomatic marathon in the coming days in order to promote Greece's positions, but also to strengthen the ties already built, according to diplomatic sources.

He is expected to travel to Vienna on New Year's Eve, at the official invitation of his Austrian counterpart Alexander Schallenberg, where he is expected to attend a working lunch with the participation of former Foreign Minister Michael Linhart who will take over the duties of Austrian Ambassador to Berlin. Earlier, also at the invitation of Schallenberg, the two Foreign Ministers will jointly attend the New Year's concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

Diplomatic sources pointed out that Austria has repeatedly supported our positions in the EU.

Additionally, Dendias is expected to receive in Athens, on January 4, the Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal.

The foreign minister is expected to visit two of sub-Saharan Africa's largest economic powers, Nigeria and Angola, between January 9 and 11.

Dendias is then expected to travel to Brest for the informal EU Council of Foreign Ministers.

During his stay in France, the Foreign Minister is expected to visit the shipyard where the new Greek frigates are built and have bilateral contacts with his French counterpart, Jean-Yves Le Drian, also with the participation of Greek and French Defence Ministers, Nikos Panagiotopoulos and Florence Parly.
