I had the distinct pleasure of attending an exclusive Fireside Chat & Dinner hosted by the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce, featuring Greece’s Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and former Italian Prime Minister and President of the Jacques Delors Institute, Enrico Letta. This high-level discussion, centered around “ provided invaluable insights into the evolving landscape of European politics, economics, and diplomacy.

In an era of geopolitical uncertainty, economic transformations, and technological advancements, the exchange of perspectives between two esteemed leaders underscored the need for strong European unity, strategic economic resilience, and enhanced international cooperation. Their discussion delved into critical topics such as EU economic policies, energy security, digital transformation, and the role of Europe in global affairs, offering a forward-looking perspective on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Beyond the fireside chat, the evening provided an excellent opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions with distinguished guests, including the Italian Ambassador to Greece, H.E. Paolo Cuculi, and the Japanese Ambassador to Greece, H.E. Koichi Ito. These conversations reinforced the importance of fostering cross-border partnerships and leveraging international collaboration across diplomacy, business, and policy-making to address shared global challenges.

I extend my gratitude to the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce and its President, Nikolaos Bakatselos, for organizing such a prestigious and thought-provoking event. As we navigate the complexities of today’s geopolitical and economic environment, events like these serve as a reminder of the power of dialogue and the necessity of strong alliances to ensure a prosperous future for Europe and beyond.

Looking forward to continuing these important conversations and strengthening the ties that connect Greece, Italy, and the global community.
