At a time when the security and energy landscape in Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean is undergoing constant change, Athens and Washington are seeking to further expand the strategic scope of their relationship. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit to Athens, for the sixth round of the Greece-US Strategic Dialogue, brought defence, security, energy, technology, trade and investment to the forefront.
The talks took place against a particularly complex international backdrop, with Greece emerging as an important US partner in the region, both in security and in energy planning for Central and Eastern Europe.
