Macron spoke of the historical ties of the two countries, and of the joint efforts with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to open the two countries to young people, archaeologists, academics and tourists.
He also spoke of the common dream of Europe, with its 40-year history, and of the independence the EU must promote, including military independence to be able to protect itself.

He also underlined the importance of the EU's collaboration with Turkey, Lebanon, Syria and Libya.
Citing his own influnce by the ancient Greek culture, which has permeated Europe and linked it irrevocably to Greece, he also noted a stronger unifying factor today, the commtment to freedom and the European adventure.
