The summit's agenda focuses on a comprehensive review of existing cooperation and the exploration of new avenues for collaboration among the three nations. A key priority will be addressing shared challenges and promoting de-escalation in the Middle East, with a particular emphasis on ensuring freedom of navigation through diplomatic means. This reflects Greece's commitment to international law and peaceful conflict resolution.

The visit to Amman follows Mitsotakis's stop in Abu Dhabi, where he unequivocally condemned recent missile and drone attacks originating from Iran. By being the first European leader to visit the region after these attacks, Mitsotakis projected Greece as a reliable partner and a pillar of stability. His meeting with the UAE President, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, reinforced Greece's solidarity with Gulf nations facing regional instability.

Με την ενδιάμεση στάση που πραγματοποίησε, ωστόσο, χθες ο Έλληνας πρωθυπουργός μαζί με τον υπουργό Εξωτερικών στο Άμπου Ντάμπι, υπογράμμισε με τον πλέον εμφατικό τρόπο τον ρόλο της χώρας μας ως πυλώνα σταθερότητας στην ευρύτερη περιοχή

Greece's consistent stance, as emphasized by Ta Nea, is one of unwavering adherence to international law and the peaceful resolution of disputes. The Prime Minister's engagements in both Abu Dhabi and Amman demonstrate Athens's strategic positioning as a bridge-builder and a proponent of stability in the Eastern Mediterranean and the broader Middle East, particularly during a period of heightened geopolitical friction.

Παραμένοντας προσηλώμένη στην εξεύρεση μιας διπλωματικής λύσης που θα διασφαλίζει αφενός την ειρήνη στην περιοχή και αφετέρου την ελεύθερη διέλευση από τα Στενά του Ορμούζ, η ελληνική πλευρά εξέφρασε χθες την καταδίκη της για τις νέες επειθέσεις
