Kyriakos Mitsotakis is in Turkey to hold talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The two leaders are expected to discuss bilateral and international relations as well as the effects of the Russia-Ukraine War, the Turkish presidency’s communications directorate said.
Greece and Turkey are nominal NATO allies but have strained relations over competing maritime boundary claims that affect energy exploration rights in the eastern Mediterranean.
