[01] Voulgarakis, Stylianidis receive Bavarian Interior Minister BecksteinPublic Order Minister George Voulgarakis and Deputy Foreign Minister Evripidis Stylianidis on Wednesday received the visiting Minister of Interior of the State of Bavaria G?nther Beckstein, with trade and security issues dominating the agenda of talks.Following his meeting with Bavarian minister, Stylianidis stressed the traditionally good relations between Greece and the Bavarian state, while noting that trade has slacked off in recent years, primarily because of developments in the Balkans. He added that the emphasis was to rekindle vigorous trade and industrial cooperation. Other topics discussed included the prospects for European integration and the draft EU constitution. Earlier, during a meeting with Voulgarakis, Greece's experience with security during last year's 2004 Olympic Games was discussed, particularly in light of next year's World Cup in Germany. During both meetings, Beckstein praised Athens for successfully and security hosting the 2004 Olympics. Athens News Agency: News in English Directory - Previous Article - Next Article |
