Expanding the Greek-Indian strategic relationship - Cooperation in shipping and eye on IMEC

Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis and his Indian counterpart, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, met in New York in an exceptional atmosphere.

Contacts between the two countries at the highest level have intensified in the last year, with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visiting Athens in August 2023 and the Greek Prime Minister being honoured in February this year at the Raisina Dialogue Conference in New Delhi, where both foreign ministers had their first bilateral meeting.

During the talks in New York, a common will was established to expand Greece's strategic relationship with India and deepen cooperation in economic, trade, and labour mobility.

For both countries, the top priority is to proceed with the implementation of the IMEC (India-Middle East-Europe-Economic Corridor), which will de facto make Greece India's gateway to Europe.

The oldest and the largest democracy in the world are linked by a long maritime tradition, a special interest in maritime safety, and a common adherence to International Law and the International Law of the Sea.

The Indian side showed particular interest in developing bilateral cooperation in shipping, which is now India's priority sector.

In this context, Mr Jaishankar invited George Gerapetritis, accompanied by Greek business and shipbuilding representatives, to visit New Delhi.
