Kyriakos Mitsotakis Silicon Valley and US visit

Overview

During high-profile engagements in the United States, including the UN General Assembly and meetings at Stanford University, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis reinforced his administration’s focus on economic stability and strategic energy development.

Mitsotakis emphasized Greece’s prudent fiscal policy, noting that the nation has achieved primary surpluses and maintains borrowing costs lower than those of four G7 members: the US, UK, France, and Italy. He reiterated that the Greek economy is growing faster than the European Union average, supported by a reduced debt-to-GDP ratio and significant decreases in unemployment.

Regarding energy security, the Prime Minister confirmed that the first exploratory natural gas drilling, involving a consortium including ExxonMobil and a Greek firm, is expected to commence in the spring of 2027. On environmental matters, he highlighted the creation of two large marine national parks in the Ionian and Aegean seas, noting the use of satellite technology through the ‘Ocean Eye’ initiative to monitor ecosystems.

Addressing regional security, Mitsotakis stated that while Greece seeks good relations with neighbors like Turkey, it will not accept threats and continues to invest in its defense capabilities to ensure deterrence. Looking ahead to the 2027 elections, Mitsotakis expressed his intention to seek a third term, stating his goal is to continue essential reforms and improve citizens’ lives rather than simply breaking political records.
