Türkiye, Greece strengthen ties with seven new agreements PHOTO

Türkiye and Greece have signed seven agreements aimed at strengthening cooperation across multiple sectors, TRT Haber reports.

The signing and document exchange ceremony was attended by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Six of the agreements were signed by the respective ministers of the two countries, while one—a joint declaration between the governments of Türkiye and Greece—was signed directly by Mitsotakis and Erdoğan.

Mitsotakis was in Türkiye for the 6th High-Level Cooperation Council that aims to improve occasionally strained ties between the two neighbors.

Athens and Ankara have tried to overcome their differences in recent years, leaving behind a troubled past. Last month, diplomats from the two countries came together in the Greek capital for a “positive agenda” meeting.

Regarding his meeting with Erdoğan during his Türkiye visit, Mitsotakis told Skai TV earlier this month that Greece and Türkiye did not need arbitrators or intermediaries to discuss bilateral issues. He hailed improvement in relations since the Athens Declaration was signed during Erdoğan’s visit to Greece in 2023.
