Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis had phone conversations with India's counterpart Dr. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar and Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar.

FM Gerapetritis greeted the ceasefire agreement and called on the parties to continue de-escalation efforts through confidence building because of the high volatility in the region. He also reaffirmed Greece's firm stance against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and in favour of holding terrorists accountable for their actions.

Under very adverse conditions worldwide, with rising conflicts and aggressions, all states need to go back to the basics of the U.N. Charter and especially the imperative of the pacific settlement of disputes. Greece's motto at the U.N. Security Council becomes all more relevant: Dialogue, Democracy, Diplomacy. During current presidency of the UN Security Council, Greece will spare no effort to promote global peace and security.
