After the eighth trilateral Israel-Cyprus-Greece summit with PM Naftali Bennett, President Isaac Herzog holds a diplomatic working meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

According to Herzog’s office, the two leaders discuss ways to boost bilateral ties, especially in the areas of tourism, investment, and combating climate change.

Herzog also thanks Mitsotakis for Greece’s position on antisemitism, and the two discuss means of advancing Greek Holocaust commemoration.
