The Minister of Economy and Finance Kyriakos Pierrakakis, met on Friday afternoon with the new US Ambassador<\/a> to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle at the Ministry headquarters in Athens.<\/p>\n

Last week, in her first interview<\/a> on Greek TV on ANT1, Kimberly Guilfoyle stressed that \u201cGreece will become an\u00a0energy hub<\/a>,\u201d explaining this is the key reason President Donald Trump selected her as Ambassador to the country.<\/p>\n

Solid foundation of trust between Greece and U.S.<\/p>\n

The Greek Finance Minister stated on Friday that the historical dynamics that have shaped Greek-American relations were also discussed with the new U.S. Ambassador.<\/p>\n

Greece and the U.S., he said, share a solid foundation of trust that allows both countries to look to the future with optimism and confidence.<\/p>\n

On Greece, Pierrakakis said the country has made a strong comeback and is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for American investment capital.<\/p>\n

He concluded that Greece looks forward to continuing its close, strategic cooperation with the U.S., which will reinforce Greece\u2019s role as a reliable partner and a pillar of stability in the region.<\/p>\n
