Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis was in Prague on Thursday, where he is to have a meeting with his Czech counterpart, Jan Lipavský.
The focus of the talks between the two ministers will be developments in Ukraine, with the Czech defence industry currently focused on supporting Ukraine's defence. The two countries are cooperating on defence issues, both within NATO and bilaterally.
According to diplomatic sources, the issue of energy diversification will also be discussed. Athens can contribute to the energy autonomy of Prague, through the Greek vertical natural gas corridor with reserves from both Revythoussa and the FSRU, which is expected to be commissioned within the next months, projects that contribute to European energy security.
Athens and Prague are countries that agree on the need for European enlargement, supporting the accession process of the Western Balkans, but also of Ukraine, the same sources pointed out. There is still a common understanding of the need to protect the EU's external borders.
Greece continues to promote its candidacy for the position of non-permanent member of the UN Security Council. European issues and the issue of EU reform will also be discussed.
According to the same sources, the Czech Republic, a country with traditionally good relations with Greece, is considered the most moderate country of the Visegrad group, of which it currently holds the presidency.
It is a member of the Three Seas Initiative, which Greece recently joined, while this year is the 20th anniversary since it joined the European Union.
The meeting will take place at 11:00 local time, followed by talks between the countries' delegations at 11:30, while at 12:00 the two foreign ministers will hold a joint press conference.
