"Greece is finally acquiring a clear, concise and functional system of asylum," said Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis during the parliamentary plenum on the Citizen Protection Ministry's draft law on migration asylum, which includes, among other relevant clauses, the acceleration of asylum application and approval procedures. The prime minister added how "we must tackle migration crisis at both a national and European level."

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis expressed satisfaction along with other EU leaders for the agreement reached with Britain over Brexit, at a press conference following the European Council summit on Friday. "There was satisfaction, relief and sadness, as most of the European countries did not wish this development," Mitsotakis said, but he expressed the hope that the British parliament ratifies the agreement.

Greece Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is in Brussels, where he will take part in the European People's Party (EPP) Summit and afterwards attend the EU Summit. Mitsotakis intends to raise the migration issue and underline the need for the sharing of the burden among EU member-states.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will meet US President Donald Trump in New York city on September 24 and the next day will have a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis does not see the Thesalloniki International Fair as a forum of promises. He will show how his plan is already translating into tangible results.
