Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will not be traveling to Washington in April due to conflicting obligations, government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis announced on Thursday.
The Greek PM was expected to travel to Washington to attend an event at the White House commemorating the anniversary of the Greek Revolution of 1821.
“The Prime Minister will not travel for the event in the US. This is not customary anyway. There was an attempt to organize a visit], but as the dates do not combine, considering that New Democracy’s conference is starting at which he should be present, it was not possible for him to attend this event,” the spokesman said.
The event is scheduled on April 4 and Mitsotakis’ speech at the ND conference on April 9, media reported.
“However, this does not change the fact that the relations between Greece and the US are at the best possible level,” he added.
Sounds more like he’s a bit spookied regarding the eclipse on 8 April 🙂
