[01] Interior �in. in St.Petersburg
Interior �inister Prokopis Pavlopoulos noted the constructive dialogue
between Greece and Russia and the need to establish a field of regular
communication among representatives of the political, social and
economic branches of the two countries, in his greeting on Monday at
the opening of the 2nd Greece-Russia Social Forum in St. Petersburg.
Pavlopoulos stressed that the opportunity provided by the Forum to the
state, social and scientific organisations and business communities of
the two countries responds to the need for cooperation among them but
also comprises an exceptional opportunity for regular communication and
discussion of the timely problems of vital interest in the modern-day
world, such as the problems of globalisation and its impact, including
today's global financial crisis.
The Greek minister further expressed pleasure over the fact that most
of the speakers are renowned scientists, and also because the
historical aspects of Russian-Greek relations are also being
underlined, regarding the history of the development of their bilateral
political, economic, cultural and religious ties. He also noted the
parallel courses of the two peoples from antiquity to the present.
Pavlopoulos stressed also that the Orthodox faith has acted to the
benefit of the creative co-existence of the populations and contributed
to the consolidation of a solid relationship of mutuality between
Greeks and Russians.
