UAE to invest a further €15 billion in Greece during Sheikh Khaled's visit to Athens

Summary

Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, made a working visit to Greece on Thursday, where he met Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the Prime Minister's Office in Athens. The UAE announced it will invest a further €15 billion (Dh61.7 billion) in Greece, building on a joint investment initiative launched in May 2022, according to the Abu Dhabi Media Office. The media office said the initiative has already led to significant transactions in strategic sectors such as energy and health care. One report gives the initiative's value as €4 billion and another gives it as $4 billion, so the currency figure differs between reports. The talks covered cooperation in energy, infrastructure, health care and advanced technology, as well as regional and international developments and the importance of security, peace and stability. Sheikh Khaled was greeted at Athens International Airport by Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis.
