In a turbulent neighborhood, “Greece remains an anchor of European stability, a factor of peace and regional collaboration,” President of the Hellenic Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou announced on Wednesday, inaugurating the 7th Delphi Economic Forum in central Greece.
The forum reopened at its physical premises after a break of two years; during the coronavirus pandemic, it was held first online, and then in a hybrid format out of Athens.
The Greek president referred to the difficult times following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which brought together Europe and its allies in a practical and unequivocal condemnation of the act and in support of Ukraine’s territorial integrity and international law. “The heroic resistance of the Ukrainians has deeply moved Greeks and rallied humanity against the violent attack of an independent state’s sovereignty, as well as the universal values that comprise our culture,” Sakellaropoulou said.
In her taped message, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola spoke of “the criminal invasion of sovereign Ukraine” by Russian leader Vladimir Putin and of Europe that “remained united in condemning it” and in expressing solidarity with the Ukrainian people.
