German Chancelor to commence Athens visit with Acropolis tour with Greek PM

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who arrived in Athens on Wednesday evening, will visit the Acropolis on Thursday morning, ekathimerini.com reports.

The two men are then expected to return to the Maximos Mansion by 11 a.m. for a meeting. 

The two leaders are expected to give a joint press conference following their meeting, as well as host a Q&A session with attending journalists. 

Finally, there will be an expanded business lunch with members of both delegations attending. 

Arms, Greek-Turkish tensions, and the energy issue will be the focus of the German chancellor’s visit. 

For Berlin, the tank swap deal (Greece sending 40 Soviet-style old BMP-1s to Ukraine in exchange for 40 German Marder tanks) is particularly significant. 

The German government has also concluded similar agreements (Ringtausch) with the Czech Republic and Poland.
