An agreement reached between Japan and Greece earlier this week to improve air links by code sharing will hopefully spur bilateral ties, Grigoris Niotis, Greek deputy foreign minister, said in Tokyo on Friday.
According to the No. 2 man at the Greek Foreign Ministry, the resumption of flights between the two countries was one of the most important issues for his country since direct flights were suspended in 1994.
Niotis is here to follow up on developments in bilateral affairs since former Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori visited Greece in January. He will also discuss political and economic issues with Japanese government officials.
