Discussions regarding Greek sovereignty in the Aegean Sea continue to highlight long-standing disputes with Turkey, dating back to the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne. These challenges involve the status of Imbros and Tenedos as well as the role of the Ecumenical Patriarch.

Domestically, Minister of Maritime Affairs and Insular Policy Vasilis Kikilias has defended maritime fuel policies, asserting they prevented billions in taxes that would have contributed to inflation. Additionally, Kikilias noted that Greek coast guards are maintaining professionalism in managing migration and maritime borders during a period of global geopolitical instability.
