It was also agreed that there is potential for their further deepening, particularly, as discussed in the meeting of Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Kaja Kallas, in the areas of economic and investment cooperation, digital transformation – in which there is already cooperation between the two countries – and cyber security. The digital sector, in which Estonia is a pioneer, also had a central role in all of the Prime Minister’s contacts.

He also emphasized that the assistance of the EU and its member states to Ukraine must continue, until the country’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity are restored. He pointed out the criticality of the existence of a stable front against revisionism and in favor of commitment to International Law and to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, which are non-negotiable.
The Prime Minister informed his interlocutors about the latest developments regarding the aggressive behavior and rhetoric of the Turkish leadership in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean that undermine stability and security in the region and reiterated that Greece is in favor of understanding and dialogue , will not accept, however, any questioning of Greek sovereignty.
