FM Dendias meets with Special Envoy Kerry: All nations should sign the Law of the Sea

All countries neighboring Greece ought to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias said on Monday, at a meeting with US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry in Athens.

Kerry is visiting Athens on the Our Ocean Conference that Greece will host in 2024.

"When the conference was held in Chile, Chile ratified the Convention," Dendias said. "Couldn't we then invite all our neighbors to ratify it? We should and we can protect our marine environment." Greece will use the opportunity of the conference to ask countries in the region to observe the rules of protecting the sea, he underlined.
