The Greek Current

What Greece should expect from the UK's new prime minister


Listen Later

Liz Truss officially became Britain's fourth prime minister in six years this week, taking the reins from her predecessor, Boris Johnson, at a time when the UK faces serious economic and energy issues. But, what does her election mean for Greece’s relations with the UK? Is this an opportunity for renewed momentum for Greek-British ties? Ioannis Chountis, a political affairs adviser at the Hellenic Parliament and a PhD candidate at the University of Aberdeen who frequently comments on UK-Greek relations, joins Thanos Davelis to look at what Greece should expect from Britain’s new prime minister.

You can read Ioannes Chountis’ latest piece in Kathimerini here: What should Greece expect from Liz Truss?
