Bilirakis Highlights Policy Priorities Ahead of Secretary Kerry Visit to Cyprus, Greece

December 3, 2015

As Secretary of State John Kerry prepares for his trip to Cyprus and Greece this week, Hellenic Caucus Co-Chairs Carolyn Maloney and Gus M. Bilirakis sent a letter highlighting pertinent policy priorities for the visit:

"Secretary Kerry's visit comes at a critical time in the Eastern Mediterranean, as the refugee and migration crisis continues to present practical intake and security challenges, economic challenges persist, and Cypriot leaders continue to work towards reunification. Secretary Kerry should promote ways that our countries can work together to efficiently handle these challenges while also focusing on emerging issues like energy security and diversification."
