A meeting between Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was held on Wednesday afternoon on the margins of the NATO Summit in Vilnius.

“There was an honest discussion in a positive climate. The two leaders laid down the framework for the next steps,”

Government sources noted that Erdogan, at the start of the meeting, pointed out the existence of a new cabinet in both countries, with Mitsotakis stressing that the Greek and Turkish foreign ministers have already spoken and have “good contact and cooperation.”

The same sources stated that the head of the Turkish secret services, Ibrahim Kalin, was also present at the start of the meeting between the two leaders, and that he congratulated the Greek prime minister on his re-election. In turn, Mitsotakis congratulated Kalin on assuming his new duties.
