International Law is not only a condition, but also a necessary tool for achieving peace in the world, Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis said in an interview with WION news channel, on the occasion of his visit to India.
We share the great concern for the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), we face the same challenges, but I think we have a common conviction that only within the international framework of the United Nations and especially UNCLOS can we live with peace and prosperity, he added.
As he said, “India and Greece share a lot of common values. We are two nations with great history, we are nations that are based on principles and we share common things.”
Referring to the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), the most ambitious project on the Greece-India agenda, he said that this visionary project is not only developmental, but will contribute to the deepening of cultural relations, but also to the consolidation of of peace.
At the same time, he expressed Greece’s will to be a vital part of the Corridor: Greece wishes to be the threshold, the gateway of India to Europe and not only because of its geographical position. It is the closest mainland country to the Middle East and has particularly important ports, such as the port of Piraeus, one of the largest in Mediterranean Europe.
