ATHENS

The Greek and Turkish deputy foreign ministers met in Athens on Monday for Positive Agenda dialogue, Greek state media said.

The meeting between Greek Deputy Foreign Minister Konstantinos Fragogiannis and Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Burak Akcapar took place in a cordial atmosphere and was constructive, according to state news agency AMNA.

Akcapar will also meet another Greek deputy foreign minister, Alexandra Papadopoulou, within the framework of regular political consultations on Tuesday.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis affirmed the “positive climate” in relations during a meeting in New York in September.

The leaders confirmed the roadmap and timeline of bilateral contacts as agreed in an earlier meeting of foreign ministers in Ankara.

Meetings are scheduled for confidence-building measures in November and the Türkiye-Greece High-Level Cooperation Council on Dec. 7 in Thessaloniki.
