Rajya Sabha MP Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal Joins All-Party Parliamentary Delegation Visit to Greece
The delegation, following successful engagements in Russia and Slovenia, will meet Greek Parliamentarians, senior officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, think tanks, the Indian diaspora, media representatives, and other key stakeholders during their stay.
Dr. Mittal stated, “India and Greece share deep civilizational ties and a relationship founded on mutual respect and a shared commitment to peace. This visit will focus on addressing the global menace of terrorism and reafð'”irming the Indo-Greek cultural and strategic ties that span over 2,500 years.”
These engagements are expected to highlight India’s commitment to unity, peace, and its firm resolve to combat terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
India and Greece share a steadily strengthening partnership, built on shared democratic values, economic collaboration, and enduring cultural connections. The visit of Greek Prime Minister Mr. Kyriakos Mitsotakis to India in 2024 marked a significant step forward, as both nations identified key sectors such as pharmaceuticals, ports, chemicals, shipping, food processing, communications, and defence to enhance trade and strategic cooperation. At that time, bilateral trade stood at USD 1.9 billion for FY 2022-23, and both sides expressed a mutual ambition to significantly scale this figure in the coming years.
