Strengthening the cooperation between Greece and Germany in the shipping sector was decided by the Greek Minister of Shipping and Island Policy Christos Stylianidis and the Minister of Digital Governance and Transport of Germany Dr. Volker Wissing.
The Greek Minister met in Berlin with his German counterpart as part of an official visit to the German capital.
The meeting, which took place in an excellent atmosphere, confirmed the productive cooperation that exists both bilaterally and multilaterally (EU and IMO). The aim of the cooperation is to ensure the competitiveness of the EU, the adoption of ambitious but realistic measures at the global level and the undertaking of initiatives and policies that will strengthen the sustainable development of shipping and the promotion of green shipping. To strengthen this cooperation, it was decided to create a "Working Group".
The Greek Minister also met with the President of the Association of German Shipowners Dr. Gaby Bornheim.
