John Kerry Coming To Athens To Talk (Geo)Politics


By  on 25.4.13



US Secretary of State John Kerry is scheduled to visit Greece in mid-May in an effort to renew ties between the two countries as well as discuss Greece's role in helping keep stability in a region critical to American interests, particularly the ongoing unrest in Syria.

The trip was arranged when the US Secretary of State met with Greek Foreign Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos earlier this week on the sidelines of a NATO conference in Brussels. At their 40-minute meeting they discussed the economic crisis in Greece and other pending issues.

Greek government officials are seeking to renew Washington's trust in Athens's ability to play a stabilizing geopolitical role in the region.
