[01] FM Venizelos attends Turkish President Erdogan reception in New York

Earlier, Venizelos met with members of major American-Jewish organizations on a series of issues related to the Greek-Israeli cooperation and energy, at the press office of the Greek National Tourism Organisation in New York.

He then addressed an event at the American Jewish Committee on anti-Semitism. "For once more we confirm and underline the great importance of our friendship; the friendship between the Greek and the Israeli people, the friendship between Greece and Israel," he said.

Within the framework of the Ministerial Week of the 69th UN General Assembly, Venizelos met with the Foreign Minister of the Palestinian Authority Riyad Al-Maliki. The two officials discussed the situation in the wider area following the cease fire in the Gaza Strip and the excellent course of bilateral relations.

Venizelos underscored to Al-Maliki the importance Greece attaches to the promotion of the peace process, assuring him that Greece, as an EU member-state and a country that maintains traditionally close relations with the Palestinian people, is always ready to contribute to the efforts to overcome the crisis in the direction of security and regional stability.

On Tuesday, Venizelos will represent Greece at the UN climate summit called by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
