Read Friday’s Ta Nea: Mitsotakis on a special mission to Egypt

Friday’s Ta Nea leads with Kyriakos Mitsotakis’s planned special mission to Egypt, where the Greek prime minister will meet President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in El Alamein on Tuesday.

The meeting is expected to carry a broad agenda, including Turkey, Libya, Sinai and the Mecca Pact. The newspaper also highlights an emergency trilateral meeting involving Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides.

Elsewhere, Defense Minister Nikos Dendias has announced 522 fortification projects across Greece. The paper also examines why the latest land-regularization measure has attracted little interest.
