US Secretary of State Antony Blinken just concluded a two-day visit to Greece, where he held key meetings with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, inaugurated the 4th Greece-US Strategic Dialogue with his Greek counterpart, Nikos Dendias, and also met with former prime minister and main opposition leader Alexis Tsipras. Deepening cooperation on defense and energy security was high on the agenda, as was Greece’s stabilizing role in the region and its clear stance in the war in Ukraine. Constantinos Filis, the Director of the Institute of Global Affairs and an associate professor of international relations at the American College of Greece, joins Thanos Davelis with the key takeaways from this historic visit.
