Greek and Turkish officials are due to meet again in December to continue talks aimed at resolving their long-running maritime disputes, following a key meeting last week between Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis and his Turkish colleague Hakan Fidan.
The talks, held in Athens, aimed to establish a framework for future talks, with both sides agreeing to continue the dialogue despite differences over maritime boundaries.
The two ministers also agreed to establish a new diplomatic channel between their foreign ministries to prevent tensions from escalating into a crisis.
The next opportunities for bilateral discussions are expected at upcoming meetings, including the December sessions of the OSCE and NATO. In addition, the next High Cooperation Council will be held in 2025 in Ankara, possibly, according to some sources, in February or March, under the two leaders Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
