[01] PM Karamanlis confers with FM on foreign policy issues
Prime minister Costas Karamanlis met with foreign minister Dora
Bakoyannis on Monday for a discussion of foreign policy issues.
Bakoyannis told reporters after the meeting that they discussed foreign
policy matters, given Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's arrival on a
state visit to Greece and the imminent arrival in the evening of
Turkish foreign minister Ali Babacan, as well as a visit by UN special
envoy on the FYROM name issue Matthew Nimetz, who is currently in
Skopje, who is due in Athens after his FYROM visit.
Replying to press questions concerning the FYROM issue, Bakoyannis said
"I want to hope that they will not persist with their intransigence, so
that a solution can be found", adding that the Skopje government will
present its views to Nimetz, whereas the Greek side has already, for
some time now, adopted a specific policy that is to the benefit of both
countries.
