The Greek government is taking proactive steps to address the evolving situation in the Middle East and its potential impact on migration.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will chair a meeting of the Council for National Security

(KYSEA) this morning at the Maximos Mansion.

The meeting will focus on assessing the latest developments in the Middle East and formulating policies to address critical issues, including migration.

While government sources indicate that a potential suspension of asylum applications from Syrian refugees is under consideration, no final decisions have been made.

"The prevailing uncertainty necessitates careful consideration, as the future remains unpredictable," a government source emphasized.

Despite the lack of evidence suggesting imminent large-scale migration flows, Greek authorities remain vigilant. "We are maintaining our effective migration policy and are prepared to handle any eventuality," a government spokesperson affirmed.

This evening, Prime Minister Mitsotakis will participate in a commemorative event marking 50 years of Greek foreign policy since the Metapolitefsi era.

Organized by the newspaper To Vima, the Hellenic Council on Foreign Relations, and the Delphi Economic Forum, the conference will be held at the King George Hotel in Athens.

Mitsotakis will engage in a dialogue with To Vima publisher Giannis Pretenteris titled "Metapolitefsi 1974–2024: 50 Years of Greek Foreign Policy."

The discussion will explore Greece's diplomatic journey and the challenges that lie ahead.
