Greece is “firmly in favor of dialogue on de-escalating tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean.” However, she is not always the preferred option from the side of our great neighbor, Turkey “stressed Nikos Dendias in his speech at the Chair of Greek Studies of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi, where he is paying an official visit.
“Promoting and respecting the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, UNCLOS, is the cornerstone of enhancing stability in the Indo-Pacific and Mediterranean, and especially in the Eastern Mediterranean,” he said. He stressed that this is a “common belief” of Greece and India and stressed that both countries “are oriented towards the oceans and the sea as a space that guarantees seamless communication between countries and people.”
UNCLOS noted, “it is of vital importance for a truly free and open Indo-Pacific. The region that will shape the course of world politics in the coming years. “
Greece, respecting the principles of International Law, welcomes the “Indian Initiative for the Indian Pacific”. “I am firmly convinced that Greece can cooperate with India in its quest for a prosperous, peaceful and Indo-Pacific rule,” he said, noting that Greece is the country with the largest merchant fleet in the world and a true supporter. of the rule-based order of the sea.
“Speaking of international law today, the Russian military invasion of Ukraine marks a turning point. Revives the nightmares of transnational wars and spheres of influence, “said the Foreign Minister.
He also pointed out that respect for the territorial integrity, national sovereignty and independence of all states, as well as the abstention from the use – or threat of use – of violence in international relations, are fundamental principles of international law and key pillars of Greek foreign policy. .
