Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis held an extensive discussion on economic, commercial and energy policy collaborations with Italy, during a meeting with his Italian counterpart Giuseppe Conte in Rome on Tuesday, ANA reports.
According to sources, these synergies were discussed in the context of both countries’ geostrategic importance, which is thought to favor joint business ventures in the greater Balkan region, southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean.
On the migration crisis, the two prime ministers agreed on how there needs to be a common policy and coordination at the EU level and condemned the use of the crisis as a political tool for self-serving interests.
They also agreed that the EU accession prospects of western Balkan countries must be supported, and expressed support for their accession.
During the visit, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on energy policy collaboration was signed by the Deputy Minister of Environment and Energy in charge of Energy and Natural Resources, Gerassimos Thomas and Italy’s Minister of Economic Development Stefano Patuanelli.
