Strengthening Greek exports and ensuring stable conditions for businesses were the priorities set out by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Harry Theoharis at the Informal Foreign Affairs Council of the EU on Trade, held in Dublin on 22 and 23 October 2026.
In the discussions on relations with the US and China, he supported constructive dialogue, the implementation of agreed commitments and the promotion of mutually beneficial trade and investment relations.
The Deputy Minister placed emphasis on opening markets for Greek products, reducing trade barriers and ensuring security of supply for businesses. At the same time, he highlighted Greece’s efforts to forge closer economic ties with Southeast Asia and the Gulf, including the United Arab Emirates.
“We support agreements that reflect the interests and needs of our citizens and our businesses, taking full account of sensitivities, particularly in the agri-food sector,” Mr. Theoharis underlined.
