Mitsotakis to Attend Landmark Greece-Saudi Cooperation Council

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will visit AlUla, Saudi Arabia, on Monday to participate in the inaugural Greece-Saudi Arabia High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council.

This historic meeting underscores the strengthening of bilateral ties at a pivotal time for the Middle East and the global geopolitical landscape.

The visit highlights Greece’s emerging role as a vital bridge between Asia, the Middle East, and Europe in sectors such as trade, investment, and energy. Notably, this marks the first time Greece has established a High-Level Cooperation Council with a Middle Eastern nation, creating a permanent structure for bilateral collaboration. These partnerships will be supported by sectoral committees, each chaired by the respective ministers of the two countries.

Saudi Arabia, a key player in the Gulf region, values Greece as a stable and reliable European democracy and a gateway to European markets. For Greece, Saudi Arabia remains an essential and dependable partner in the Gulf and beyond.

During the council meeting, Mitsotakis will meet with Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to discuss further cooperation.

This visit symbolises a new chapter in Greek-Saudi relations, reflecting both nations' commitment to addressing regional and global challenges through strengthened collaboration.
