Greek PM Sets the Tone for 2026 with Focus on Stability, Security and Reform

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis used his first weekly Facebook review of 2026 to outline the government’s priorities, stressing the need for stability and an active Greek presence in a rapidly changing and unpredictable international environment, alongside the continuation of reforms at home.

He noted that recent global developments had underscored the international community’s responsibility to respond to authoritarian regimes that violate fundamental human rights, pointing to Venezuela as a case where a democratic transition respecting popular will and international rules was essential. He also reiterated Greece’s position, expressed at the UN Security Council, that the principles of the UN Charter and international law must always be respected.

On European security, Mitsotakis said the issue had returned to the forefront as a matter of collective responsibility. Referring to the Paris meeting of the “Coalition of the Willing” on Ukraine, he reaffirmed Greece’s support for international law, a just and sustainable peace and the inviolability of borders.
