00:00Kyriakos Mitsotakis became the first European leader to visit Lebanon following the ceasefire
00:07with Israel.
00:08The Greek Prime Minister met with his Lebanese counterpart, Nejib Mikati, and conveyed Athens'
00:14commitment to support Lebanon.
00:17He also discussed the rapid development in Syria.
00:22Syria needs to be inclusive, to encompass all the groups while addressing the current
00:27fragmentation of the country, because the people of Syria have also suffered a lot and
00:32must not be subjected to yet more displacement.
00:34And of course, we do hope that future stability in Syria will also permit the millions of
00:39refugees who have left the country, many of whom are actually in Lebanon, to return to
00:47their country.
00:48Earlier, the Greek Prime Minister met with the Patriarch of Antioch and acknowledged
00:54the provisional role of the institution in the troubled region.
