The announcement noted that the Greek foreign ministry, acting on the orders of Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias, had undertaken to mediate between the two sides over the last three months in order to bring about a good outcome in this humanitarian issue.
Dendias had sent a letter to Libyan Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, the announcement said, where he noted Greece's desire to establish a region of peace and stability based on good neighbour relations and full respect for the rule of law, with the assistance of all the countries in the surrounding region.
