Neighbourly pledge

ATHENS: Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias pledged yesterday to work to overcome the “serious differences” with Turkey following a meeting with his counterpart, Mevlut Cavusoglu, which aimed to reset relations after a public spat between the two last month.

Dendias said the talks with Cavusoglu offered the chance to plan a meeting between Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan during the upcoming NATO summit.

The two countries, both members of NATO, are at odds over maritime claims in the eastern Mediterranean, the status of Cyprus and the treatment of migrant boats.
