The signing was attended by Greek Foreign Affairs Minister Nikos Dendias and Alternate Foreign Affairs Minister Miltiadis Varvitsiotis.
In statements after the signing, Dendias said that the agreement aims to save human lives that are in danger at sea through the cooperation of the two countries’ authorities. Furthermore, he underlined that the agreement proves once again that the Mediterranean is not now, or ever was, a barrier between Europe, Asia and Africa. “It is a bridge between the peoples of these three continents,” he added.
Greece and Egypt continue to work together based on this philosophy, he noted, “setting an example to other Mediterranean countries.”
