Lavrov will head to the country on Monday. According to Nassika, the Greek and Russian foreign ministers will discuss bilateral ties and regional issues of mutual interest. The top Russian diplomat will also be received by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
"On the occasion of the visit, a Memorandum regarding the common project 'Year of History Greece-Russia 2021' will be signed," Nassika said.
The ambassador noted that Russia would "hold a special place" in commemorative events on the 200th anniversary of the Greek Revolution of 1821, given the country's "historical role in the Greek struggle for independence."
As for modern "turbulent times," Russia, she went on, has an important role to play as a permanent UN Security Council member and "therefore as a guardian of peace, security and international legality."
