At a time of global changes, it had become more necessary than ever for states from different regions to discuss and reach understanding, Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias said on Thursday as he arrived in Ulan Bator, Mongolia for the 11th Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) Summit on Friday and Saturday.
“At tomorrow’s ASEM Summit, we will promote this understanding and take a step forward for cooperation between the states of Europe and Asia,” he said.
Following a proposal by Singapore as well, Greece will have a prospect of becoming a center of technological cooperation and connectivity for ASEM, Kotzias added.
“Cooperation in the economic sector, in science and research, with countries developing new technologies and new forms of economic development, is of great importance for our country, now that the period of crisis is ending. Moreover, we are connected to these countries by a historical parallelism of major cultural links, a common search for answers to the great questions regarding the nature of human society and the prospects of humankind themselves. As a result, we are also discussing issues of economy, practical and technological cooperation, as well as issues bearing on humanity’s survival and its good governance,” he said.
Greece’s main message is the need for this cooperation to be extended and expanded; to become more regular and have more immediately feasible results. I will also have the opportunity to talk with the leaderships of, among others, Singapore, Vietnam and Mongolia,” Kotzias added.
