Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis at Epiphany

Kyriakos Mitsotakis - Greek economist and politician. Mitsotakis was born in Athens on March 4, 1968. He made an extremely symbolic visit to the island of Gavdos - the southernmost Greek island.

Mitsotakis is the first prime minister to visit the island since Kostas Simitis in 1996, and only the second in history to make such a visit.

This was reported by the Greek agency ANA-MPA for BTA, reporting on the double message sent by Mitsotakis.

"The first message refers to our government's commitment to support all remote areas of our country," he stressed.

The second message is broader, Mitsotakis said: "I want to repeat here, from Gavdos, that Greece does not accept proposals on how to exercise its sovereignty and sovereign rights.

We have proven that we are a peaceful force, but at the same time we are also a confident force.

We know that based on international law, we can resolve any of our differences peacefully.

We also proved it by delimiting the exclusive economic zone with Egypt and Italy.

We also know that this is the path we must take to resolve any other differences we have with our neighbours."
