I am back in the United Kingdom, in London, first to meet with the Ambassadors who have concurrent accreditation to Athens – I will do the same tomorrow in Rome – in an effort, on the one hand, to promote our candidacy for the United Nations Security Council, but also to brief them about the Greek positions on a number of issues.

On this occasion, I will be meeting shortly with acting Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Heaton – Harris. As known, Liz Truss is in isolation due to COVID-19. Again, the United Kingdom remains an important global player, and any contact with the British Government is of great importance to us, the Greek Government, the Mitsotakis government.

Evidently, among the topics of discussion with the Minister of State Heaton-Harris, will be the implementation of the Memorandum that we signed with Liz Truss a few weeks ago: how we will be able to implement it and how we will be able to benefit the most from its implementation, both us, the Greek side and the United Kingdom.
