MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 17th July, 2019) US Ambassador to Greece Geoffrey Pyatt said on Wednesday that the relations between Washington and Athens were proceeding at "top speed," media reported.

This assessment came during the 23rd Roundtable with the Government of Greece, which was organized by The Economist news outlet, the Kathimerini newspaper reported.

The diplomat noted that Washington looked forward to working with the new Greek government and stressed that US-Greece cooperation, especially in defense and security, would "enhance Greece's ability to promote peace and stability in the Balkans and Eastern Mediterranian."
