Greece assumes the presidency of the UN Security Council
Greece is assuming the presidency of the United Nations (UN) Security Council for the month of October. This is a significant diplomatic moment for the country, as it will have the opportunity to place critical issues concerning the global community at the center of the international agenda.
In the context of this presidency, the Prime Minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, is expected to chair a special session on October 29th. The presence of the Greek Prime Minister underscores the importance the Greek government places on the country's role in maintaining international peace and security.
The Greek presidency will focus on two main pillars. The first concerns maritime security, a particularly critical issue for Greece due to its geographical position and maritime tradition. The second pillar relates to the challenges brought about by the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and how it may affect global security.
These discussions are considered essential, as the world faces complex geopolitical challenges. Through its coordinating role, Greece seeks to promote dialogue and seek common solutions to problems that require international cooperation.
Assuming this position is a confirmation of Greece's active participation in international affairs. Our country will continue to work for the defense of international law and the strengthening of stability in the wider region.
