US sees Greece as a pillar of stability and as a strategic partner in the Southeastern Mediterranean region, US Ambassador in Athens Geoffrey Pyatt has said, adding that bilateral ties between the two countries are in better shape than they have been in many decades.
“We see Greece as an important partner, not just because of the way that we work together – for instance our military forces in Souda Bay – but also the way in which Greece is deepening its partnership with American friends in the region,” Pyatt noted in an interview with the Athens-Macedonian News Agency on Thursday.
Pyatt welcomes the outcome of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’s recent trip across the Atlantic in bolstering Greece’s appeal as a target for foreign investment, and hails the embassy’s role in promoting the country as a tourism destination. “Greece is a safe and secure country for Americans to visit,” he points out.
