On Monday, the head of the Greek parliament’s Greek Russian Friendship Group Simos Kedikoglou had a meeting with Russia’s deputy foreign minister Vladimir Titov and the chairman of the Russian Duma’s Foreign Affairs Committee Konstantin Kosachyov in the framework of an effort to promote investments and exports in Greece.
“In this direction we found some very good, potential partners,” Kedikoglou noted, reporting that Titov had expressed Russia’s intention to further develop and intensify Greek-Russia relations that had lagged in recent years, especially to boost the confidence of Russian investors and business people that were interested in making investments in Greece but had been made wary of committing their capital in light of recent developments.
Moreover, Kosachyov said that the Russian side intended to focus on the friendship group with Greece after the Duma elections on December 4. He said the committee was “particularly dynamic” and that there was Russian interest in several sectors of the Greek economy.
